Where Do Billionaires Live in the US? Here Are the Top Cities

This article originally appeared on Business Insider.

About 770 billionaires live in the United States, according to a new report on the world’s wealthiest cities from London-based consulting firm Henley & Partners.

There are just a handful of cities they love to call home — or at least park their private jets when they’re in town.

Three of the four biggest clusters of billionaires in the world are classic US destinations for the uberwealthy: New York City, Los Angeles, and the Bay Area, which includes the neighboring tech hubs of San Francisco and Silicon Valley. Nearly 163 billionaires reside in those three hot spots alone.

Some of America’s richest residents, though, choose quieter cities for their home bases.

Comparably smaller Seattle, Washington boasts 10 billionaire residents, while Boston, Massachusetts claims eight.

And one of America’s fastest-growing cities — Austin, Texas — has emerged as a relatively new billionaire hot spot, counting nine as residents. Henley & Partners said that “no state income tax and ample space” helps make the Texas capital a prime destination, especially as tech titans like Elon Musk descend on the city.

Check out the full list of the US cities where the most billionaires live.
