Where do billionaires live in Dubai?

Mainly on Jumeirah Bay Island, Palm Jumeirah, in Emirates Hills and at Marsa Al Arab. Al Barari and the Dubai Hills mansions are the inland alternatives. Most of these homes are not advertised.

What is Billionaires' Island?

It is the market's name for Jumeirah Bay Island, the small island off Jumeirah with beachfront mansions, plots and the Bulgari residences.

What is the most expensive area in Dubai?

For houses, Jumeirah Bay Island, the Palm frond tips, Emirates Hills and Marsa Al Arab are where the highest prices are paid. Which one leads changes with the last sale, so we do not crown a permanent winner.

How do I see off-market luxury homes in Dubai?

Speak to the Private Office directly. Many owners ask us not to advertise, so those homes are shown only to people we have spoken to. Tell us the address, size and budget you have in mind.

Where billionaires live in Dubai

Last updated 14 November 2026

Billionaire homes in Dubai concentrate on a few addresses. Jumeirah Bay Island, which the market calls Billionaires' Island, Palm Jumeirah, Emirates Hills and Marsa Al Arab beside Burj Al Arab are the ones that come up every time.

Al Barari, Dubai Hills mansions and the lagoon houses at District One are the next group, chosen by people who want gardens or a skyline more than a beach. This is a guide to those places, not a ranking of residents.

Private Office homes

The homes below are the instructions we can show on 14 November 2026. Others are offered only after a conversation.

None of these homes are on the public list at the moment. Ask the Private Office what is being held back.

Billionaire homes, by address

Jumeirah Bay Island

A small island, beachfront plots, and Bulgari. It is the address most people mean by billionaire homes in Dubai.

Palm Jumeirah

Frond-tip villas and Crescent penthouses. The widest choice, and the deepest resale record, of the beach addresses.

Emirates Hills

Golf and lake mansions on large plots. The established inland alternative to the Palm.

Marsa Al Arab

A small set of villas and branded residences next to Burj Al Arab, for buyers who want that shoreline rather than a frond.

Al Barari and Dubai Hills

Garden mansions and golf mansions for buyers who do not want a beach. Our AED 121 million record was in Al Barari.

What they buy, besides the house

Privacy, a plot or a full floor, and a sale that does not appear on a portal. Family offices often hold the home in a company. The family office page explains how we work with them. The Golden Visa, at AED 2 million, is a side question at this level, not the reason for the purchase.
