10. Singapore ($13,750 per square meter)
Singapore is the home to the first ever Formula 1 night race and one of the most expensive buildings in the world which is also one of the most expensive man-made attractions. Need I say more why Singapore is the 10th most expensive city in the world?
With nearly six million people living in this city-state, Singapore is the world’s third most populous sovereign state after Macau and Monaco. The population is 19,910 per square mile.
The living cost in Singapore is the highest in Southeast Asia. To live here, you need around $3,500 monthly for a typical city apartment. And as for the buying price, it is around $13,750 per square meter. So the cost of a 120-square-meter apartment in Singapore is nearly $1.7 million.
“There isn’t anywhere else on Earth where people confluence – like the way they do in Singapore. From visitors and transients to citizens, this progressive island and gateway to South East Asia is a dynamic mix of cultures, ideas and histories neither ethnic nor exotic, instead, the essence of modern Asia – sparklingly savvy, with a touch of old school.” – Anita Kapoor on yoursingapore.com.
