many do not do anything for a living that created their wealth. quite a few developed it passively as investors .
for most of us real wealth does not come from our pay checks. rather it comes from the little bits of our pay checks that we managed to invest and let decades of compounding work its magic on.
we earn more passively in some years than my wife and i added up do working.
those bits and pieces we managed to save are now supporting us as we retire.
Same way they do everywhere else - look at peconic's post. The wealthy people I know here in NC are in high level sales/excutive positions, doctors, lawyers, business owners.
Lots of tech-y/pharma people here as opposed to finance/Wall Street types. Look at the popular business sector of any area and the high ranking people there will be the money makers.
Look at the "old money" areas. On Long Island it's the north shore of Nassau (down here it's a certain area of Raleigh).
No rich cops or teachers here though!
won't find 150k a year teachers in Virginia either must be a long island thing
