The Annals of Luxury: What Size
Home Will US$1 Million Buy?

A report in Britain’s Financial Times reveals how much space a measly million gets you in major cities around the globe. The answer: Not a lot.

Remember the days when US$1 million was real money?

It will still buy you a three-bedroom house or better-than-average flat in a prime part of Atlanta, Edinburgh, or even along the Riviera in Nice. But if you want to live in a desirable neighborhood in one of the world’s financial or cultural centers, you’re out of luck.

Hong Kong, New York, and London are second, third, and fourth on the list of most expensive residential real estate markets.



In practical terms, that means you’ll get only about 215 sq. ft. of living space in Hong Kong, 280 sq. ft. in New York, or 322 sq. ft. in London. That’s a tiny studio apartment, no matter how you cut it.

You can have either a king-size bed or a couch, but maybe not both – unless you don’t mind walking on the furniture to get to bathroom. Once there, don’t expect to be able to turn around with ease.

You could do somewhat better if you don’t insist on living on the Upper East Side or Belgravia.

Monaco is home to the costliest real estate on the planet. If you could find a US$1 million flat (you can’t!) you’d have to call a 12 ft. x 15 ft. room in a less than prime building home.

You’ll get a bigger bang for your buck if you’re willing to live in a good section of Paris, which isn’t what anyone would call a hardship, is it? That US$1 million might get you only a small one-bedroom apartment, but, hey, you’re in Paris!

The FT report, based on a study by the global real estate giant Knight Frank, notes that the Brexit vote is starting to send high-earning Parisians living in London back to the French capital. Sales are up there, if not prices.

Values are to be had for those who are flexible about where they reside. Home prices in Dubai and Sao Paulo are reasonable by comparison. It’s possible to snag a large two- or three-bedroom flat in either city for about US$1 million.

Of course, no matter where you prefer to live, you still must have at least US$1 million at your disposal. Not many do.

Only about 13 million of the globe’s 7.4 billion inhabitants have even a net worth of US$1 million. And that doesn’t mean all of them can afford to spend seven figures on housing.

If you can, consider yourself lucky.

  1. All in all, is this flipping stuff real? Well... it beyond any doubt is. There are innumerable individuals out there making a darn decent living flipping homes. Be that as it may... the programs on flipping are darn deceiving with regards to the "reality" of real estate flipping. “We Buy Houses” company or Atlanta

    Crew socks came in the early 1980s, when tennis apparel began to take off.  The classic style, with two furry balls at the ankle, came back in the mid-2000s, but has since morphed into a number of styles, mostly to pair with skateboards, followed by shorts or skirts.  Some girls wear invisible socks because they want to fully show the curve of their legs and the socks are not good looking. They usually wear invisible socks when they are playing sports or walking in the athleisure style.
