Investment-migration consultancy Henley & Partners recently unveiled its annual report on wealth distribution in the U.S., featuring a ranking of the country's wealthiest cities based on the number of millionaire residents.
The top five cities on the list remained consistent with the previous year's report.
However, Henley & Partners highlighted a "millionaire remix trend," with more affluent Americans and expatriates from abroad choosing cities like Austin and West Palm Beach as their preferred destinations.
According to the report, the U.S. boasts the largest millionaire population globally, with approximately 5.5 million individuals residing there. Additionally, the country is home to nearly 10,000 individuals with a net worth exceeding $100 million and close to 800 billionaires.
