This is the Richest Country in the World!! (24 Hours in Monaco)

[@ena8218]

Hey I'm from Monaco ! Thanks for making this super cute video, Just a few clarifications: Monaco is actually a country. It is governed by the Prince and has a government that is elected by the Monegasques (The citizens, just like me !) and we are only around 8000 of us. It is, in fact, a tax heaven because living in Monaco frees you from paying taxes to the government, which are in fact paid thanks to the SBM, which is the group that owns the Casino (and some hotels and restaurants), which created Monaco. The "little next-door city" you see from the gardens are actually a neighbourhood of Monaco, it's called Fontvieille, and was actually build on the sea, just like the construction work you can see from the Starbucks, which is planned on being another extension of our tiny country. And Monaco was created thanks to a guy who dressed up as a monk and faked his way into the palace and claimed himself Prince hahaha Hope you enjoyed it xxx

[@truthseeking6611]

Hi Ena,Do the native Monagesque have enough space?Do they resent the rich immigrants driving up the real estate prices?Can they afford to buy houses in their own country or are they moving to France?Please answer and Thank you.

[@evandosetiawan7217]

But you have a same flag like indonesia

[@whateverreally1347]

Truth Seeking French person who grew up in Monaco here. No. Monegascs are the most privileged people on Earth. I don’t mean that in a harsh way, it’s just a fact. ANY monégasque is entitled to a “logement domanial”, which I guess it the equivalent to social housing. Except it’s really nice flats. There’s literally some monaco social housing in the Odeon Tower, which also has the most expensive flat in the world, to give you an idea. And the monegasques have to pay rent, but it’s actually somewhere between 1/10th and 1/3rd of the actual real estate value of the flat in question. In general, the monegasc government gives a TON of legal and financial privileges to its nationals. You can’t just open a business in monaco without authorization from the government. And you’ll never get authorization unless you have a monegasc partner in the business. You can’t just hire someone in Monaco. You have to announce to the government that you are creating a position, and then they send some monegasc candidates which you legally HAVE to interview. And if you don’t like them, you have to come up with a reason why you’re refusing them and instead hiring the outside candidate you actually wanted. And the reason can’t be something like “they went to a crap school”. It has to be an actual job requirement that they don’t meet.

Basically, "tax haven" means you live in Monaco, which doesn't tax your income. I'm older, and I recall that because income tax in Sweden is so high, tennis star Bjorn Borg moved to Monaco.

[@carrieapparcel6956]

So excited to have found this video. My grandmother and mother went on a Riviera Cruise together and I am seeing what they would have experienced through your eyes. They have both passed on but this makes me feel close to them. Thank you for going on a picnic and mentioning a yacht tour, that's a wonderful idea.

[@tulipofnonsense2472]

Monaco is actually a very funny place to spend a month or too, especially when out of season. I can testify not all on that rocky terrain is about wealth, showing off etc. Real life always happens behind the scene dear friends. Just give it a go one day!

[@richarddavis4954]

I had some great experiences in Monaco. The walk down from the Royal Palace along the waterfront and up to the Casino at night was beautiful. And many years ago, sitting at a little restaurant at Xmas time and seeing Prince Rainer walking past with just a bodyguard, and he stopped and asked how how evening was going

There's a French town just above Monaco, Beausoleil. You could live there for cheap and enjoy going out and shopping in Monaco. Actually, when watching aerial videos or photos of Monaco, you often have Beausoleil in the background.

Love Monaco. We sent a day there on a 3 week roadtrip from UK to Italy. Walked the track, took photos, paid €10 to get our passports stamped and watched cruise boats coming in in force as there we were there a week before the boat show. Went and saw all the prince‘s cars and used the elevators to cross the roads and the lifts in the hillside! This place is amazing
