The 5 Richest and Craziest Cities in the World
When it comes to partying hard with endless amounts of dosh at your disposal, you won't have much difficulty finding a place to spend it all. But with hundreds of expensive cities and resorts scattered around the globe, Green Beans narrows down the list to the ultimate 5 party cities, where wealth will get you pretty much everything you could wish for, and more...
Monte Carlo - Monaco
Monte Carlo is often labelled as the land of dreams - the true Disneyland for adults. The population of Monaco falls at just under 40,000, and yet it's amazing how much wealth can be squeezed into such a small country. A car and yachting heaven, money will get you everywhere in this place, and it's got a pretty decent casino too!
Las Vegas - USA
The city of dreams, or better known as Sin City, Las Vegas is the ultimate party city of the American west coast. Filled with casinos, flash restaurants and wild nightclubs, the bright lights of this incredible city can easily blow you away, especially if you are not short of a bob or two.
Its main street and focal point is the Strip, just over 4 miles
long. This boulevard is home to themed hotels with elaborate displays
such as fountains synchronized to music as well as replicas of an
Egyptian pyramid, the Venetian Grand Canal, and the Eiffel Tower.
Dubai - UAE
'New money' seems to be a common trend in some parts of the Middle East, and Dubai is fast becoming a world leader for the rich and powerful.
Dubai is a city and emirate in the United Arab Emirates known for
luxury shopping, ultramodern architecture and a lively nightlife scene.
Burj Khalifa, an 830m-tall tower, dominates the skyscraper-filled
skyline. At its foot lies Dubai Fountain, with jets and lights
choreographed to music. On artificial islands just offshore is Atlantis,
The Palm, a resort with water and marine-animal parks.
Marbella - Spain
Marbella is a city and resort area on southern Spain’s Costa del Sol, part of the Andalusia region. The Sierra Blanca Mountains are the backdrop to 27 km of sandy Mediterranean beaches, villas, hotels, and golf courses. West of Marbella town, the Golden Mile of prestigious nightclubs and coastal estates leads to Puerto Banús marina, filled with luxury yachts, and surrounded by upmarket boutiques and bars.
Shanghai - China
Shanghai, on China’s central coast, is the country's biggest city and a global financial hub. Its heart is the Bund, a famed waterfront promenade lined with colonial-era buildings. Across the Huangpu River rises the Pudong district’s futuristic skyline, including 632m Shanghai Tower and the Oriental Pearl TV Tower, with distinctive pink spheres. Sprawling Yu Garden has traditional pavilions, towers and ponds. If it's the rich and crazy you are after, then Shanghai will give you the lot, and much, much more.
