Gay? The fabulous gays left San Francisco decades ago. They're mostly in NYC now. Walk around Chelsea then go to Castro. Castro ones look beat down relics from the 70s and the Chelsea ones look rich, fab and fit. I'm surprised 18Montclair has such a distaste for New York. For someone so into counting everyone's money, i'm surprised that he hasn't received the memo that NYC is where most of the tastemakers (re: gay) and the card carrying velvet-mafia live. I mean, you would never catch David Geffen or Tom Ford in San Francisco. New York, London, Paris and Los Angeles for the jetting, glamorous, fabulous elite.
Haha Peter Thiel and Scott Cook are far more interesting than those 2 superficial boobs. Google them if your not familiar. Its a smart people thing.
And while I do enjoy the sight of tacky leopard clad plutocrats and pretty boys, since I moved back to the Bay, Ive become enamored and reacquainted with people of substance and it turns out, I like those kinds of people more So yeah...it turns out centimillionaires arent required by law to be gaudy after all.
And even without the jet set, the Bay still manages to have more billionaires than London, Paris and LA, but I promise not to tell anyone, wouldnt eant to ruin the neatly wrapped up stereotypes people have formed in their heads.
That's a stark difference. I imagine the stats up and down the peninsula are similar to SFs numbers.
Families that Earn $100,000+, 2012 Hoboken, NJ 72%
San Francisco, CA 44.8%
Families that Earn $200,000+ Hoboken, NJ: 31.8%
San Francisco, CA 17.5%
That's also a stark difference. Do you really think Hoboken is richer city than San Francisco? You're comparing the percentages between a city of 8,300,000 vs one of 800,000.
Quite easy to alter municipal boundaries to prove a point.

So what this means is, IF NEW YORK HAD THE SAME PROPORTION OF ULTRA HIGH NET WORTH INDIVIDUALS AS SF, THERE WOULD BE 12,000+ SUCH PERSONS INSTEAD OF 8,000.

Yes, and on average, the SF family is wealthier than the average NYC family and its not close.

Hoboken, an affluent, high density suburb packed with Manhattan professionals is what it takes to rival SF, which is an actual major city. Thank you for further making my case.
I know that stat pretty much shat on your parade but its true babe. NY does NOThave proportionally as many ultra high net worth individuals as SF.
Sad face:-(
The United States does not have proportionally as many ultra high net worth people as Luxembourg; but the United States is clearly richer, more elite and the #1 home of the super rich. Ditto the comparison between New York vs San Francisco.
New York is the richer, more elite, and far more popular city. That's just the way it is. Life isn't fair, I know..

Yes and you can slice it, dice it smack it up, flip it and rub it down to yer heart's content, but NY has 20 million people and 8,000 are worth 30 million or more. Meanwhile SF has 7 million and nearly 5,000 such rich people.

Hoboken is about the same proportional size to SF as SF is to NYC. It really is something most people simply don't know or don't understand. There is no contention within the US for top city.
