The greatest number of billionaires in the U.S. live in New York (86), followed by California (41), according to a report by 24/7 Wall St.

To determine the city in every state with the most billionaires, 24/7 Wall St. compiled data from Forbes’ Real Time Billionaires list. In some of these cities, the combined net worth of billionaires exceeds the entire annual GDP of many states.

Data on residency and net worth came from Forbes’ list, which is updated every five minutes to reflect changes in stock prices and private company valuations, using data from Marcy 29, 2021 to compile the list.
