President Donald Trump 's proposed $5 million "gold card" for U.S. residency would be one the most expensive in the world.

It also includes a tax loophole that would give the new card-holders a lucrative benefit not available to American citizens.

Trump announced the creation of a new investment visa that gives the overseas wealthy permanent residency and a path to citizenship.

The U.S. issued just over 12,000 EB-5 visas last year , with two thirds going to Chinese nationals.

The wealthy Chinese are also the dominant users of investment-visa programs around the world.

There are about 424,000 people in the world worth $30 million or more who could reasonably afford the program.
