Introducing Monaco
A safe haven for successful people
Monaco has the world's second-highest GDP nominal per capita at US$153,177. According to the CIA World Factbook, Monaco has the world's lowest poverty rate and the highest number of millionaires and billionaires per capita in the world.
It has been governed under a constitutional monarchy since 1911, with the Sovereign Prince of Monaco as head of state. The executive branch consists of a Minister of State as the head of government, who presides over a five-member Council of Government.
Since 1870, Monaco has not levied a personal income tax on its residents. Considering the location of Monaco, which is easily accessible by plane, boat or train, it is very common for residents to work and even live in other countries in Europe. Residents do not pay capital gains taxes and the government does not levy net wealth taxes.
Monte-Carlo, its major district, is home to an elegant belle-époque casino and the ornate Salle Garnier opera house. The marina is home to the world’s largest and most luxurious superyachts. Residents enjoy a standard of living which is amongst the highest in the world.
