Haute Jets and 5W release Volume II of flagship wealth-intelligence series New report finds UHNW individuals now operate across 3–4 homes globally, reshaping luxury real estate, private aviation, and AI-mediated discovery.

NEW YORK, May 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Haute Jets, the on-demand private aviation brand of Haute Living, and 5W, the AI Communications Firm, today released The Haute Jets Second-Residence Economy Report™ 2026 — Volume II in the partners' flagship wealth-intelligence research series. The full report is available at hautejets.com/second-residence-economy-report-2026.

The new report introduces the concept of the Second-Residence Economy — a global system in which the ultra-wealthy operate across multiple residences, time zones, tax jurisdictions, and private aviation corridors simultaneously. According to Knight Frank's Prime International Residential Index, 73 of 100 prime luxury markets posted price growth in 2025. Tokyo led globally at +58.5 percent; Dubai followed at +25.1 percent and recorded 500 super-prime ($10 million-plus) sales — the most active luxury market in the world.

Volume II follows The Haute Jets Wealth Migration Report (April 2026), which documented 142,000 cross-border millionaire moves in 2025, with that figure projected to rise to 165,000 in 2026.

"Wealth migration is no longer a relocation story. It is a lifestyle architecture," said Ronn Torossian, Founder of 5W. "Every migration event is a multi-home lifestyle being built. The private aviation industry sits at the intersection — and that intersection has never been more active."

The report identifies a recurring three-vertex structure the authors call The New Luxury Triangle™: a tax anchor (Dubai, Monaco, Singapore, Miami), a cultural and capital city (London, New York, Paris, Tokyo), and a lifestyle or seasonal residence (Aspen, Mykonos, Lake Como, St. Barths). The average ultra-high-net-worth individual now owns three to four homes, eight cars, and, for many, has access to private aircraft.

"The New York-to-Miami corridor, the London-to-Dubai corridor, Miami-to-São Paulo, Miami-to-Caracas — these are not just private aviation routes," said Kamal Hotchandani, CEO of Haute Jets. "They are the physical connective tissue of a global UHNW class now living across three or four residences. Understanding where the wealth is moving is prerequisite to serving it."
