If you're asking because you want to visit "rich places", Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket are easy answers. About 8% of Americans are millionaires, so there are quite a lot of "rich" places where the average house costs a million dollars. This is pretty much to be expected in cities that mismanage their housing development like L.A., but almost every major city is going to have wealthy suburbs. If you're talking about ultra-wealthy people, those tend to live in the big four states: California, Texas, Florida, and New York. But that's not to say that places like Connecticut and Georgia don't have plenty of ultra-high-net-worth people.
There are more than 200.000 UHNWI in US. UHNWI stands for ultra high net worth individuals, those with assets north of 30 millions usd. If you consider rich as those with 10 million usd+, they are pretty much all over the country.
But like said, they are more prevalent in those states, specially in certain cities like NYC, Miami, LA, San Francisco... Just google the most expensive neighborhods and you will find them.
Vail, Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket are also places that cater to this public. But mostly as places for holiday ski/beach houses.
I would add Palm Beach, Georgetown in DC, Westchester in NY, Hamptons...
But, like I said, it depends of what you consider as rich and where those people are living. 20kk usd gets you a great life in NYC but those who are worth that sum there probably only consider themselves upper middle class, someone doing well, perhaps entry level rich. The threshold is much higher there. So are prime real estate prices. In cities in Louisiana, you probably would be rich with a nice house plus 5 million in the bank.

Connecticut in particular has large pockets of very wealthy people—a lot of New York finance types live there with their families. Along with the posh parts of Long Island and Westchester, it’s one of the places New Yorkers with money go when they want a big house with a yard but still want to be able to take a train (or drive, or get driven) down to work.
Palm Beach FL is full of old money multi millionaires
This.
I know Southwest Florida has the most millionaires per square mile compared to anywhere else in the US. Money is flowing into the state and is growing like crazy.
Utah. They’re similar except a lot of Utah will be high desert whereas a lot of Colorado will be great plain. High desert is probably more fun than great plain for most.
Some do. That's the sign of someone who's incredibly sheltered and needs some social cause to feel important over. It's very common with women whose husbands earn enough to at least put them in the upper-middle class. The younger and less sheltered ones tend to be a lot more vindictive.
> I live in Hudson county (New York state suburb of nyc) and literally every house that is worth over 1.5 mil has these in their lawn
Maybe so, but a $1.5M house in your part of the world isn’t really rich, it’s upper middle class. I sold a very cute but tiny little condo in San Francisco for $1.2M, and I’m only rich by global standards, not even close to the local 1%.
Just look up the wealthiest and highest income neighborhoods in the US on Google. The only place I can think of that will probably not even be on either of those lists but should be mentioned is the Philadelphia main line.
Brickell Miami
Miami Beach
Palm Beach FL
Silicon Valley CA
Hollywood Hills CA
Upper East Side, Noho, Soho NY
Kenilworth IL is the richest in the midwest

But those are vacation places or summer towns. Where do rich people actually live for the rest of the year?

How could you forget nj? Literally every suburb there is meant for millionaires
Vail Colorado
Santa Barbara California
Amerifags, which state has more impressive unique nature, Colorado or Utah?
Colorado got ruined by people from California moving there. Avoid it at all costs
Utah. They’re similar except a lot of Utah will be high desert whereas a lot of Colorado will be great plain. High desert is probably more fun than great plain for most.
Greenwich, CT, especially Riverside.
Look for the neighbourhoods with this sign on the lawn
do actual rich people have these or just craven middle class government workers
Some do. That's the sign of someone who's incredibly sheltered and needs some social cause to feel important over. It's very common with women whose husbands earn enough to at least put them in the upper-middle class. The younger and less sheltered ones tend to be a lot more vindictive.
Middle to upper middle class more than rich, I say. But not exclusive to government workers.
nah most real rich people are conservative as shit. if you ever been to a country club, this would be self evident.

Isn't Jackson Hole one of those places

Bethesda, MD
Silicon Valley money likes to buy enormous estates in Hawaii, although only a handful of them use HI as their primary residence.
And many stay closer to home in places like Atherton and Los Altos Hills.
Greater Cleveland apparently
Just look up the wealthiest and highest income neighborhoods in the US on Google. The only place I can think of that will probably not even be on either of those lists but should be mentioned is the Philadelphia main line.
Overrun by Italians/Irish from Philadelphia, and anyone living in pre-war mansions is far removed from any productive activity.
They're all in California
Scottsdale, AZ
