These rankings are entirely false.

There is no richest town in America as a single individual moving anywhere could make it that overnight.

Also just prima facia there is no way belle mead is as rich as billionaires row Manhattan, Pacific Heights in SF or Bel Air in LA. Let alone the Hamptons/Jackson Hole zones.

That must depend on the definition of “richest town” because my quick search of that term disagrees.

Honestly this is hard to believe. Many uber wealthy suburbs attached to NYC, LA, and SF. Probably many other large cities too.

By what metric is this city the richest?
