ST. LOUIS COUNTY, Mo. – A personal-finance study names one St. Louis suburb among 25 U.S. cities “where the ultra-wealthy live.”
GoBankingRates.com published the study last December, classifying an “ultra-wealthy” individual as one with a minimum net worth of at least $30 million. A research team used Census data to determine which cities had the largest average income.
According to GoBankingRates.com, coming in at 21st out of the 25 “ultra-wealthy” U.S. cities was Ladue, Missouri.
The study determined there were more than 3,400 households in Ladue with an average household income of nearly $385,000.

Every city that made the list, including Ladue, had at least 1,000 households with a median annual income of at least $250,000.
According to the study, individuals who represent the 25 cities on the list often have high-paying jobs, such as doctors, or have reached the top of their careers in their respective fields. Property and assets also help in building an “ultra-wealthy” portfolio.
