Where are you getting THAT data from? I'm just curious!
"donjuan" got it from the Forbes list which he previosly posted several pages ago. Here you go, honey, along with the link to the article that explains the data source which is the cities themselves. So what you see is what San Francisco reported.

No honey. Santa Monica, Beverly Hills and West Hollywood are their own cities.
Brentwood and Westwood are city of LA. Let's keep our facts straight.
Don't even. I know LA like the back of my hand. I was obsessed with it. I know very well that Santa Monica, Beverly Hills and West Hollywood are their own cities.. I didn't write as clearly as I could have because I was interrupted at work.

donjuan, you are correct. Everyone does know that Oprah's real home is in Montecito. This has been much publicized, mostly by her.
She held her fundraiser two weekends ago for Obama at her home in California with mostly LA people. Why? a.) because it's her home b.) it's a big place and . c.) most importantly, there's far more money and star power in LA than in Chicago.

There is only more money in the entertainment sector. Financially? Its allllll Chicago, baby.
Nope, sorry. More millionaires (the most in U.S.) and billionaies are in LA than Chicago. And it's not only entetainment. It's across the board in terms of where people have made their money.

Los Angeles isn't big on finance. San Francisco and Chicago are.
