    You won’t meet them there. They have a house, register it as their home state for tax reasons, the travel to states they actually want to be in. They may take a 2-week summer vacation to the house, but it’s not like there are millionaire communes where everyone at the local coffee shop is ultra wealthy.

      millionaire communes

      It’s not as exotic a status as it once was. About ten percent of America is composed of millionaires.

      Inflation, ballooning home values and a decades-long push into stock markets by average investors have lifted millions into millionairehood. A June report from Swiss bank UBS found about one-tenth of American adults are members of the seven-digit club, with 1,000 freshly minted millionaires added daily last year.

      There are in Jackson, but only during tourist season.

      As a note, you’ll often see or hear it called Jackson Hole, that’s the valley just south of the city of Jackson.

        An incredibly beautiful area. Used to go there as a kid 30+ years ago. It was a relative backwater, not super popular except as a stop for people visiting the Tetons.

        Full of hundred-millionaires now. Like all the spaces taken over in Montana by the wealthy, or the mountain towns in Colorado like Aspen and Breckenridge. Commoners can fuck off.

            The wealthy? Not sure what you’re alluding to, but you’d have to add a lot of other places to the list the wealthy have priced normal people out of. Everything from Texas ranches to the castles on Long Island.
