Elon Musk, Ken Griffin and 45 other billionaires have bragging rights as the richest person in their state but plenty of others, including Bill Gates, missed the cut.
Forbes
There has been plenty of turnover in the past four years, with nearly a third of the country’s 50 states featuring a new face at the top. That includes Texas and Florida, now home to two of the world’s wealthiest political exiles, Elon Musk and Citadel’s Ken Griffin, both of whom claim to have left their former states for more business friendly home bases.
It’s a tough list to make. Just ask Bill Gates, whose $116 billion net worth is still not enough to rank him as the wealthiest resident of Washington. Only five people on the planet are richer than Gates–unfortunately, one of them, Jeff Bezos, lives in the same town. The competition is particularly fierce in the four states with the most billionaires: more than 60% of the 775 billionaires who reside in the U.S. live in California , New York , Texas and Florida .
