But do the billionaires live there, or are they in multi-million dollar penthouses in Manhattan? You'd think people like that would concentrate in the most prestigious areas, so trying to adjust the comparison like that may not yield a much different result.
- gumby 6y agoScarsdale etc are wealthier than Manhattan. There a lot of course on the upper east side but plenty live elsewhere. It’s like the Bay Area: not so many billionaires in SF, lots in the ‘burbs.
