--FILE--Tourists visit the promenade on the Bund along the Huangpu River to view the cityscape of the Lujiazui Financial District with the Oriental Pearl TV Tower, tallest left, the Shanghai Tower, tallest right, and other skyscrapers and high-rise buildings in Pudong, Shanghai, China, 31 July 2016. Despite a broad economic slowdown in the region, it's getting more expensive to be rich in Asia. According to a report from Swiss private bank Julius Baer, the annual Lifestyle Index ranks the costliest cities in Asia for luxury goods and services for high-net-worth individuals, or those with more than $1 million to spare. Among 11 Asian cities, Shanghai remains the priciest. Singapore, Hong Kong, Tokyo and Taipei round out the top-five, in that order. While a sluggish economy and campaign against conspicuous spending have hit everything from high-end jewelry to sports cars in China, they haven't dented the prices of some luxus items in Shanghai. The Chinese financial capital is the most expensive in Asia in 2016 for botox, hospital services, cigars, watches, and skin-care products. This despite the fact that consumer inflation rose by just 1.3% in August, the smallest rise since last October.
