...you can buy Malta citizenship (w/ all EU rights) for a E 650,000 investment (+E 25,000 for your spouse). Canada offers permanent residence for C$1,600,000 WITH business experience, or C$10,000,000 without.

I got mine in the 90s thanks to my mom's parents being from Donegal, even though they'd both been out of Ireland since around 1910, and had both passed. My wife and I lived and worked in Ireland for a couple of years, and are planning on going back in about 2 years. It's a great place!
