The most expensive cities in the world

May with her Renault in Paris

One hundred years ago (or was it one hundred thirty years, I want to be done with that) I interned in Singapore. Life was beautiful, the evenings long and the nights short. I believe I asked my parents for an extra financial injection four times (thanks again), because living in Singapore, is not cheap. And yes, you know me a bit by now: I’m also not really the frugal type.

I seem destined to always have a bit of month left at the end of my money because not only do I have a hole in my hand when it comes to clothes, stuff for my house, and good food, apparently I also have a knack for making the most expensive cities in the world my favorites. Because in the list of the most expensive cities of 2019, there are four favorites. So.

Let me go through it with you.

  1. Singapore
  2. Paris
  3. Hong Kong
  4. Zurich
  5. Geneva
  6. Osaka
  7. Seoul
  8. Copenhagen
  9. New York
  10. Tel Aviv
  11. Los Angeles

Now you want to know where Amsterdam stands in this list. Well, aside from the fact that parking here is the most expensive in the world (no joke) and you can pay three hundred thousand for an attic in Amsterdam, we apparently are not doing so bad here. Amsterdam is ranked number 50 on the list.
