Recent complaints from ultra-high net worth individuals suggest London has lost its status as a welcoming destination for the world's super-rich. The city was historically known as the 'billionaires' playground, where wealthy individuals could reside in Georgian townhouses without state interference. However, if these complaints are accurate, the city is no longer perceived as safe or accessible for those who consider themselves Britain's most persecuted minority.
