Couple of possibilities

1. Many high ranking people suddenly started leaving USA and move to other countries and New Zeland is just one of them.

2. High ranking people have been always leaving USA to other countries.

3. High ranking people are moving to New Zeland because of reasons which are not necessarily the same for everyone.

4. High ranking people are moving to New Zeland because of one common reason. The reason being.

Some possibilities.

4.1 Because of quality of life. Is New Zeland experiencing a sudden influx from non high ranking people as well?

4.2 Because of its remote location and if things go wrong in mainland it might be the safest bet and they think things are going to go wrong bad. Very bad.

I doubt it because immigration is extremely tough there. You either have to be under 35 with desirable qualifications or be some VIP at a major corp. Otherwise you can forget about it.

New Zealand only offers a high quality of life if you bring money with you.

Our productivity and wages are low, and we have some of the least affordable housing in the world - our median house price is around 600usd (and the quality of that housing is very poor).

NZ’s “high ranking” people don’t stick around.
