Mark H. Bickel | Naples Daily News

New York. London. Chicago. Los Angeles.

When it comes to the ultra-wealthy and places they are purchasing a second home in 2025, these are some of the most popular locations, according to a story in Business Insider.

And right there with those places is in Southwest Florida. Naples made the Top-10 list in the U.S. for second homes in 2025.

According to the Business Insider story, the findings are based on Altrata’s proprietary Wealth-X and RelSci databases, which combine verified profiles, residential ownership records, and relationship mapping of the global wealthy.

Along with Naples, other emerging second-home destinations for the ultra-wealthy, according to the story, are Dubai and Lisbon.

Altrata, a wealth intelligence firm, ranked the top 20 cities where ultra-high-net-worth individuals − defined as those with a net worth of at least $30 million − are buying second homes in 2025.
