Oh hell yeah it’s money. It’s called economic citizenship and there are plenty of countries out there that are willing to let you buy in with ownership of properties and business.
There are only a handful of countries out there that don’t allow dual citizenship.

In Canada and New Zealand you can literally buy citizenship. You just need the funds. It’s a real and legitimate process.

Almost every country has a way to get citizenship in exchange of money

If the country is corrupt enough, then yes.

I wonder if anyone rich enough has decided on undertaking the quest to get and hold as many citizenships as possible.
There’d probably be difficulty though getting simultaneous citizenships for North Korea / South Korea citizenship, Russia / Ukraine, or Republic of China / People’s Republic of China.

The most i could find on the web was this lawyers non-named client, who has 8 citizenships (“octa-citizen” has passports from Canada, UK, Ireland, Belize, Grenada, Dominica, St. Kitts, and Cape Verde), after renouncing his original USA one (and he apparently did it to not pay taxes).

ya, the US is the only nation that will tax any money you make even if you don’t live in the US or work in the US

In Australia you can buy permanent residency, which is then a pathway to citizenship.
