While purchasing power for the average world denizen is declining, the number of billionaires continues to grow. According to the latest Forbes data, there are now over 3,000 billionaires on planet Earth. More than 800 of those billionaires live in the United States, spread across 287 cities.

The U.S. cities with the most billionaires are a mix of finance capitals, technological hubs, and resort towns. While economic powerhouses like New York, San Francisco, and Los Angeles unsurprisingly top the list, other cities likely attract billionaires through high quality of life or tax structures friendly to the ultra wealthy.

Despite a population of just 9,200, Palm Beach, Florida is home to 24 billionaires with a collective net worth of $126.7 billion. Some of the wealthiest billionaires living in Palm Beach include Thomas Peterfy, the founder of Interactive Brokers, hedge fund manager and Carolina Panthers owner David Tepper, and real estate entrepreneur Jeff Greene. Other small cities home to large billionaire populations include Franklin, Tennessee, Greenwich, Connecticut, and Jackson, Wyoming. A closer look at the data reveals the U.S. cities with the most billionaires.
