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 or already resident here, offshore investing opens up more flexibility than many realise. As an expat, you’re not tied to a single country’s rules or restrictions, which means more options, more access, and more control over how and where your money grows.
At Skybound Wealth, we help you take full advantage of that flexibility with global investment strategies tailored to your goals, risk profile, and life plans.

We start by understanding your goals, timeframes, and why offshore investing makes sense for you as an expat in the UAE.
We assess your financial position, risk appetite, and any existing investments, both local and international.
You receive a customised investment plan built to support your short, medium, and long-term goals, with the right balance of diversification and tax efficiency.
We keep you updated on global markets, investment performance, and any regulatory changes that could affect your strategy.
With ongoing reviews and expert support, your offshore portfolio evolves with you, wherever life takes you next.
Living in the UAE gives you access to investment opportunities that aren’t always available back home. It also gives you more freedom in how you manage, grow, and protect your wealth.
But with that flexibility comes complexity. Without the right structure and guidance, it’s easy to end up with unsuitable solutions, excessive fees, or missed opportunities.
We help you:
Tap into regulated international platforms and funds that suit your objectives and risk tolerance.
Use investment wrappers that reduce tax drag and maximise long-term growth potential.
Whether you're building steadily or investing a windfall, we create a strategy that fits.
Manage and protect wealth across different currencies, reducing FX risk.
Keep your offshore investments aligned with markets and your changing circumstances.
Offshore investing isn’t just about where you put your money, it’s about how that money works with the rest of your life as an expat. We help you invest globally with structure, purpose, and control.
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.
