It's pretty observable and part of the reason many microstates are extremely wealthy.

Also keep in mind the US is a winner here. The UK loses the most millionaires and it's had an observable impact on their economy.

Nah… UK’s economy is broken due to the fact we’ve never recovered from the financial crisis

It’s also due to the lack of investment in heathcare, education and other public services over the last 14yrs

Britain still has very many extremely rich people - London has more billionaires than NY - Serious Money by Caroline Knowles is an interesting exploration of the subject
