“Billionaires From Abroad”

england.jpgThe Wall Street Journal reported this week that 65 percent of all houses priced at $8 million or more in central London were bought by people born outside the U.K. last year.  Location, taxes and history all play a role, according to Monday’s article by Cassell Bryan-Low and Jeanne Whalen.  This is a very well-written article, with colorful details.  It’s not just a real estate article, it’s a lifestyle story.  We’re talking $18 cups of tea, $29 mojitos and $216,400 for one evening at a night club.  This is a great read.
