The Richest Person in Every State

The U.S. has no shortage of billionaires. While we tend to associate billionaires with large cities such as New York and Los Angeles, there are very wealthy people all over the country — around 813 in total, according to Forbes.

Some billionaires may choose to live in places other than the big cities, whether it’s because of favorable tax policies or their own personal reasons. Two of the most well-known billionaires, Elon Musk and Larry Ellison, specifically left California for states with friendlier tax codes.

However, the incredibly wealthy live everywhere across the U.S. from Florida to Hawaii. This gallery will provide a glance at the richest people in every state, where data is available, as identified by Forbes.
