2. Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands
Grand Cayman isn’t a city, it’s the largest of the three Cayman Islands and home of the capital, George Town. It’s no surprise that Grand Cayman is so high on this list, since 43 of the 50 largest banks in the entire world are here, and offshore banking is a huge thing here, too. However, while it’s no surprise that this British territory is expensive, it might surprise you when you start to make your budget to move. Your budget for certain things might be lower than you thought, but you’re going to have to make up for that somewhere else, and that somewhere else is probably going to seem a bit random.
First, let’s talk about real estate. While the cost of rent won’t be too bad, utilities are more expensive here than they are anywhere else in the entire world, and that is really saying something. Among the things you can’t get at a higher price anywhere else are: potatoes, dresses, and nice two person dinners. Also, it costs seven dollars for two pounds of apples here, which is unheard of in a lot of places.
