You never say do you really enjoy Bahamas.⁢ How long do you stay there per year?
I like Caribbean , but my wife︀ says its unbelievably boring. Nothing besides beaches and beach restaurants. She just could not stand︁ to live there. Talking about what is boring 🙂
 
  • Monaco: Where you can live like a billionaire, but you'll still feel poor.
  • Caribbean: Where‌ you can live like a king, but you'll still feel rich.
 
I find it bizarre why people would choose to spend time on the landmass that‌ is Monaco which is just 2 km2 in size. It's way too small to want‍ to spend any meaningful time there. Monaco is under 500 acres in size. It's the⁠ size of just one of our over 2,000 islands and islets that makes up the⁤ Bahamas alone or the size of a small farm 🙁.We are talking about a place⁣ so small it makes the Gaza strip look like Alaska....lol.

I would pick Dubai before⁢ I live in such a tiny prison strip of land. And if living there means︀ crossing the border each day into France just to stretch my legs I would give︁ it a strong pass long term. I can literally buy an island that is bigger︂ than Monaco and that costs the same as a luxury 4 bed flat in Monaco︃ 😕.

Have you been in Monaco?
In practice︄ reality there is no border with France. People live in Monaco and all spend time︅ all around Monaco (France , Italy).
If you cross Monaco border, you just see that︆ buildings are not so nice on the other side (French side).
If you live on︇ islands, you have to fly , sail around them. This means airport time, sail time︈ etc. You are far away from all continental Europe, USA
 
Yes more times than I‌ care to remember.

At least we have airports to be able⁤ to fly around. Monaco has a heliport only. Being far away from EU is a⁣ bonus. Also Fort Lauderdale is only 100miles from Bahamas or 2hrs by ferry so you⁢ can day trip there and back if your that crazy about USA.

Even less than 2 hours with a fast boat like a Cigarette.
Lenny Kravitz was regularly traveling to Miami from Eleuthera on his Magnum until it broke down, not sure if he has fixed it.

EU makes you sick, retarded and poor. It's only good for brief vacations.

I am just curious. Why is important to have airport⁣ in Monaco, while you have airport in Nice which is 20 - 30 minutes away?⁢
And why being far away from EU is bonus?

Please enlighten me how living in Monaco EU makes you sick, retarted and︃ poor?
I suspect you are angry because you had problems with taxes in whatever EU︄ country - that make sense.
But the same in Canada, US, EU etc. But at︅ the same time big chunk of client money is in those countries. Of course it︆ just depend on you business model..

Why not then some Republic of Palau, Vanuatu, Nauru︇ etc. 🙂 These are even more far away from everything and cheaper
 
I don't want to go to another country just to get on a plane even⁠ if close. Makes private jet ownership complicated and takes away from luxury living which one⁤ expects in Monaco. Why have all the money in the world and live in an⁣ apartment the size of my granny annex and in a country that can fit on⁢ the back of a postage stamp.

Because it offers no value to us here in the︁ Caribbean. Continental Europe is not important. Europe is less than 10% of the world population︂ and less than 15% of global GDP. It is a place that is aging,︃ getting poorer and has stagnant growth.

Or you ca just Jet Ski from Miami to Bimini in Bahamas that's about︇ 60 miles away smi(&%
 
You do not have face power cut or slow internet in Hotel residence in Bahamas.....‌
If you live in Baha Mar or reef residence type hotel residence in Bahamas........... IMHO‍ You can get same level of service in Dubai......By living in Hotel residence you can⁠ eliminate most cons of living in Island life.....Like Power cut , water supply, hiring labor,⁤ hurricane.......YEs Hotel residence is cost money....but It is far better than living in Shoe apartment⁣ in Monaco.....

As Mention by @Martin Everson ,
If you are on high budget ...developing⁢ your own island like Richard Branson is better Idea than spending $40 million plus on︀ apartment in Monaco ...You can make your own paradise there with this Budget...
 
I prefer Shoe apartment in Monaco
I have no family
1 bed room apartment is enough
Atmosphere of Monaco is not that of Caribbean
I believe︂ meeting those rich people of Monaco everyday will affect your mentality and make you hustle︃ day and night $$$
 
100%! This right here!‍ Zig Ziglar said it best!
