What It's Like To Be A Billionaire In New Zealand

Just a hop, skip, and a jump from Australia, is New Zealand. While these two countries may be neighbors, they’re quite different! Billionaire life in New Zealand is still pretty new. The country has just over five million residents, which is smaller than some cities! However, New Zealand is becoming the home of many American billionaires because it’s the most ideal place to ride out the apocalypse. Yes, this is true. Billionaires like Larry Page and Peter Thield find that New Zealand is the best place to go should society ever collapse. They have even become official citizens, otherwise known as Kiwis. It’s truly remarkable how one little country can grow so much thanks to a few rich people noticing it. Since New Zealand’s pretty new to having so many wealthy people, it’s not as developed as other cities like Paris or New York City. The country only has a few Michelin star restaurants. But there is plenty of real estate to go around. Also, the country is seeing an increase in up and coming wealthy elite youths growing up into their own. Yet, many of the rich kids coming from wealthy families aren’t very well-rounded. In fact, they’re quite sheltered. Let’s take a look at what it’s like to be a billionaire in New Zealand and see how the other half lives!

Investing their wealth into New Zealand makes everything more expensive (one example is the housing market). When they invest, they are buying and taking ownership of that services or property. Then make the population pay to use it at a profit for them, weather that is rent or a fee. Which of course makes everyone miserable through inequality down the line. There is a big for sale sign on New Zealand, and it’s being sold right out from under our feet. So when a government says we need more overseas investors it doesn’t mean it’s going to benefit the people. Just the rich and the large corporations through back handers.

Things are getting worse, it's so bad that having a job doesn't mean financial security

As a New Zealander and in the 1% of global wealth, I can tell you NZ is an amazing place to live IF you have money. Fresh air, its clean, comfortable social scene, beautiful beaches, its paradise.. It does however lack variety and put on excitement which is why some of our billionaires go abroad. I can get that when I travel and always have the perfect place to come back to.

The way she pronounces Auckland makes me want to die

The Mowbray children went to one of the top private schools in NZ…. Far from humble beginnings.
They invented “bunch of balloons” while still in school and sold them by door knocking. This lead to Zuru toy company and now live in Kim Dotcoms ex-mansion

[Jostonstuart]

Yea New Zealand is a “Tiny island nation” despite being the same size as countries like France, Italy, Germany and Japan 💀💀💀

[LeopoldNZ]

These people don't care about average kiwis and have made it harder to live here and buying a home impossible. This video is gross.

[valentinawells]

When this person doesnt say Auckland properly...

[jacobalexander]

Don't come here it's getting worse and houses r harder to get

[trobinson]

You know it would really help me out if one of those billionaires would give me a million dollars. I could do so much for other people as well as myself. 😔💜

November 2022, for your average Kiwi living in NZ - What is the job security, taxes, salary and everyday living like? Also, for either immigrants or students flocking to NZ (from Australia), does it differ from life as an average Kiwi citizen?

[candiceperry]

It is awesome to go to New Zealand for vacation

[ouji]

No where near the 4th richest country.
