A million dollars isn't what it used to be, especially in the world's luxury real estate markets.
According to a new survey from Knight-Frank, $1 million buys you only 17 square meters, or 183 square feet, in Monaco, the world's most expensive real estate market as measured by average cost per square foot.

Se avete un sogno nel cassetto ed avete più di 50 anni è il momento giusto per tirarlo fuori. Lo stereotipo dell’imprenditore di successo giovane, coraggioso e anche un po’ incosciente è contraddetto dal boom di imprenditori “over” che complice la crisi decidono di mettersi in proprio, spesso con successo.
