Millionaires in Maricopa County

From the “did you know” files….

Maricopa County ranks third in the nation for highest number of millionaire residents.

We’ve got more millionaires here than Orange County, Houston, Seattle, San Diego, Silicon Valley, New York, and other large metro areas.

Surprised me.

Size matters, so I’m sure the fact that Phoenix is the fifth or sixth (depending on who you listen to) largest city in the country drives a lot of this.

Or maybe it’s just the idyllic weather we enjoy for much of the year.

Only Los Angeles County and Cook County, IL (think Chicago) have more millionaire residents — at least according to TNS-Global’s annual Affluent Market Research Program.

If any Maricopa County millionaires are looking to buy or sell a home, you know who to call.

Besides our great weather, we do have lots of retirement communities, and lots of people with second homes… I am sure that plays into the numbers.

WOW – I never knew we were loaded! Looks like most of the money is concentrated in Maricopa – might be because we don’t have several large counties like CA and TX??

A multimillionaire is a person with more than 2 million and a hector-millionaire with more than 100 million units of a currency.
