U.S. BillionairesIf you’re in the United States, chances are there’s a billionaire living among you. As part of the annual World’s Billionaires list, Forbes found
748 members of the three-comma club populating America – across
42 of the 50 states. The richest of each are collectively worth $1.4 trillion.
They live everywhere from Arizona to Wyoming, though most call one of just four states home:
California (with
186 billionaire residents),
New York (135),
Florida (78) and
Texas (67). In recent years, some of the super-rich have ditched the high-tax hubs—including Elon Musk and Larry Ellison, who both fled Silicon Valley.
Eight states have no billionaire residents at all: Alabama, Alaska, Delaware, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Dakota, Vermont and West Virginia.
New York’s wealthiest resident remains the same (media mogul
Michael Bloomberg has held the title since 2019), change hit the other coast in 2022:
Mark Zuckerberg is no longer the richest person in California.
