How to Be a Millionaire in the UAE: The Real Rules of Wealth in 2025
As featured in Arabian Business, Mike Coady, CEO of Skybound Wealth, reveals the real rules to building wealth and why reaching AED 1 million is just the start.
If you're moving to the UAE with children, education planning should be a top priority. International schools in the region offer world-class learning, but the costs can climb quickly. School fees for expats are among the highest in the world, and they’re only increasing.
At Skybound Wealth, we help expat families in the UAE build smart, flexible plans to manage education expenses. Whether your children are just starting school or preparing for university abroad, we’ll help you stay in control of the cost.

Start with a conversation about your children's education plans and family goals after moving to the UAE.
We review your income, savings, and expected school fees for expats, from nursery to higher education.
You receive a personalised financial strategy that balances saving, investing, and considers other big life events.
We monitor your plan and make adjustments based on changes to your life, goals, or school fee structures.
With a clear education fees plan in place, you can focus on giving your children the best start in life without compromising your broader financial goals.
If you're relocating, school fees for expats can come as a surprise. The lack of access to free public education and the absence of a loan system like in the UK means the full burden often falls on parents.
Our education fees planning strategies are built to:
Forecast and fund school fees for expats in the UAE through structured savings plans.
Plan early for the cost of higher education abroad, including international student fees.
Minimise FX risk by saving in the right currency for future tuition payments.
Build a robust education fund through lump-sum investments or regular saving strategies.
Ensure your education plan fits within your wider financial goals.
We’ve supported expat families for over 20 years, helping them manage school fees and other financial challenges after moving to the UAE. Our advisers understand both the local environment and the global context of raising children abroad.
Wherever you are in the world, our team of expert, qualified advisers is ready to guide you.
We bring international experience, local insight, and a personal approach — so you can move forward with clarity and confidence.
