FWIW Cyprus is kind of a shithole, so it's not exactly like "buying an expensive home anywhere in the world". These people want the citizenship, not the real estate.
Not that I think there's anything wrong with this, probably half of my friends have these passports. Until recently this was the easiest way for Russians to move to the EU.

- FDSGSG 6y agoIt really is, my wives' family has property there thanks to this very citizenship scheme. Sometimes we holiday there because it's literally free, but the place really doesn't have any redeeming qualities. There's nothing that Cyprus offers that's not done better somewhere else in Europe if you have the money to spend. Sure, there are worse places out there. But to the Eric Schmidts of the world it firmly falls in the shithole category.
