Here are the most expensive homes in the most expensive towns in America
Where do the richest people in America live? We couldn’t think of a better way to learn than by taking Bloomberg’s newly released list of the richest towns in America, and finding the most expensive listings in the 10 most expensive towns. Say, your big fishes in a big pond.
Of course the most depressing finding is that with a few exceptions (here’s looking at you #7 and #9), most of these homes are actually a pretty good value by New York City standards. $10 million for 13,800 square feet of space? A bargain!
New York City was not included anywhere on the list, however, because wonder of wonders, in addition to having the highest concentration of billionaires in the world, there are also a good number of lower-income people here as well. We guess the city is more balanced than we thought.
