I do not think so. NYC has the largest GDP in the world. NYC's mayor is a 6th wealthiest person in the US. Can you top that?

I have a nice luxury condo, a nice car (yes, BMW) can drive to the beach, can go skiing, can be entertained, enjoy year round perfect weather and live in a center of influence.

meanwhile you live in an nasty, freezing, city with declining population, filthy trains and decaying roads. thats why nobody with money would live in chicago which is nothing more than a glorified ghetto. it's a dump.
Wow, are you this arrogant to everybody? The biggest question is, how does somebody with your intellect get to afford all those things?

You fit into that spoiled, uneducated, rich boy from Southern California, that has the intellect of a monkey stereotype.

It still doesn’t negate the fact that people have such high debt to income ratios they can't even sleep at night. I would give up skiing if it meant I would have financial security and local and state governments who give a damn about its LEGAL CITIZENS.

LA is a cesspool of gangs, illegal immigrants, and a fiscally irresponsible governments.

GDP is NOT an indicator as to the wealth of a city. If you want to live in a "rich city", you compare personal net incomes, and that my friend, makes Zurich the richest city in the world.

And no, I do not have to top that. You aren't making any good points, sir.

Yeah. Chicago is blessed with great governments. Almost as much as the state with governors. LA is gand invested yet Chicago has higher crima per capita rates in each and every category including murder. Also, Illinois allows unlicensed, illegal drivers to register their cars w/o proof on inusrance resulting in streets filled with third-world drivers w/o licenses and insurance. How stupid can Illinois actually get?

I don't care about "people", i care about ME and my lifestyle is far above the average person living in that dumpy city chicago. i can afford to live a nice life and my lifestyle is more enviable than a person living in that dumpy chicago.

Chicago is a cesspool of illegal immigrants, CRIME CRIME CRIME (most dangerous city) and CORRUPTION. lol, look at your officials. CORRUPTION! Your crappy incompetent police can't even keep that warzone safe! i guess you need NYPD or LAPD to school your worthless police force. Or maybe chicagoans just attracts a lot of animals who can't be controlled?

chicago barely has any hahahahahahahahahaha. rich people prefer better cities than giant ghetto/value-pack ****cago.
I was basing it off of the fact that it had the most billionaires on the planet...it's also the most expensive city on the planet. I'm just making the point that Moscow isn't some trashy city that people make it out to be. It's a gorgeous place...easily the most beautiful subway stations in the world, every stop is like a museum.

Technically a median income is an averaged indicator of all 4 of those. (Just to save you some trouble and research)
