HEALTH AS THE NEW LUXURY

Dubai investor and entrepreneur John Hanafin says true wealth today is about longevity, quality of life, and balance

Across Dubai, a powerful transformation is redefining what prosperity means. The city's evolution from a luxury retail and real estate hub into a global medical tourism and wellness destination reflects a new understanding of wealth — one centered on wellbeing. For Dubai-based investor and entrepreneur John Hanafin, true wealth is no longer about possessions; it is about longevity, quality of life, and balance.

As global investors and families increasingly seek privacy, preventive care, and premium healthcare experiences, Dubai offers a unique combination of world-class medical infrastructure, five-star hospitality, and a thriving innovation ecosystem. The result is a new form of capital — health capital — where investments focus not only on life, but on the quality of living itself.
