As the world's most opulent city, Dubai is no stranger to hosting some of the world's most well-known celebrities and successful Americans. Celebrities such as Robert De Niro, Gwen Stefani, and Jackie Chan have all made a home in the city, often overlooking its glittering skyline. With its world-class shopping, incredible nightlife, and an array of luxurious accommodations, it seems to make sense why some of the world's most famous Americans have chosen Dubai as their preferred city of residence.
One of the most high-profile American celebs living in Dubai is Gwen Stefani. After becoming a worldwide music icon with band No Doubt, the global superstars made the move to the city in 2010, and the singer-songwriter can often be found performing some of her most iconic hits at venues across the city.
Another notable American to call Dubai his home is Robert De Niro. After hosting the Rise Up Conference in November 2015, the World War Z actor decided to set up home in the city. De Niro is often seen as a regular at some of the city's most exclusive bars and clubs, and is frequently spotted around the iconic artificial Palm Islands.
Jackie Chan is another movie star who has become a permanent fixture on the Dubai scene. The world-famous actor and martial artist is often seen lending his talents to a number of local events across the city, often entertaining the crowds with his signature brand of martial arts.
American singer and pop star Janet Jackson also lists Dubai among her favorite cities in the world. The icon and her husband, Wissam Al Mana, often use the city as their base, and Jackson can usually be found performing in some of the city's iconic music venues and festivals.
Not forgetting the financial players in town, American investment guru Warren Buffett has also taken a liking to the city and has set up an office within Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC). Buffett often visits the city a few times a year and operates an office in the DIFC.
There are many more famous Americans living and working across the city, from world-renowned chefs, media moguls, and entrepreneurs, all of whom have, in one way or another, made their mark on the city. With its vibrant contemporary culture and abundance of nightlife, it is not difficult to see why some of the most famous Americans choose to make Dubai their home.
