NZ is a safe haven for the rich to buy citizenship,property in case of a catastrophe in their home countries.

As a kiwi, I knew this was going to happen. Gabe has been camping out here for a long time and I suspected he was planning on going the same route as the many multi-millionaires and billionaires who have NZ as their backup plan.<p>For a country with few ultra-rich, we have a really hot ultra-high-end property market catering to overseas billionaires.

More like in covid-hiding.<p>Stranded implies he can&#x27;t return, and also portrays a billionaire as a victim.

Craps me off that mega bajillionaires get to buy themselves a chunk of the last refuge on earth from the apocalypse.

If there are any naval powers in the post-apocalypse, New Zealand would be plum pickings for any pirate lord or renegade admiral.

Well, if you have about 3 million dollar to put away, you&#x27;re welcome here too. We need more Billionares and tech businesses here.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.newzealandnow.govt.nz&#x2F;investing-in-nz&#x2F;visas&#x2F;investor-visa" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.newzealandnow.govt.nz&#x2F;investing-in-nz&#x2F;visas&#x2F;inve...</a>

Stranded my ass, he can charter the next plane and fly home. All he has to do is sit in quarantine for 2 weeks.

Technically speaking they asked if he was planning to bring developers to NZ, and he’s responded that the company had no such plans, nor did he have a meeting lined up to discuss this. Very good corporate speak. Next up, he just might be running for President.
