San Jose isn't San Francisco. Washington's MSA is wealthier than SF's MSA. Sorry.
Baltimore is closer to DC than SF is to San Jose, so I wonder how many millionaires live in Baltimore. That would add a lot more to DC. But in reality I don't really care because I like DC better than SF. Except in December, January, and February. that's when I visit my family in the Bay Area a lot to get a break from the cold. But other than that I'm lovin' the east coast.

2. Philadelphia
3. Los Angeles
4. Boston
5. Chicago
6. Detroit
7. Washington
8. San Francisco
9. San Jose
10. New York City
I am confused with the population figures. I know Philly's MSA is 5.85 million with Chicago at 9 million and LA is around 13 million with NYC around 18 million.
Actually, San Jose might be far, but it is considered part of the CSA and CSA's do matter. Combining them we would get..
Hartford, Conn: 27,587 millionaire households
Bridgeport-Stamford-Norwalk, Conn: 26,176 millionaire households
Norwich-New London, Conn: 5,704 millionaire households
New York City MSA: 561,800 millionaire households
New York City CSA: 621,330 Millionaire households
San Francisco: 120,800 millionaire households
San Jose: 69,500 millionaire households
Bay Area CSA: 190,200 Millionaire households
Washington DC MSA 127,700 millionaire households
Baltimore: 56,249 millionaire households
Washington CSA: 183,949Millionaire households
Bay Area still has a little more than Washington MSA when you include Baltimore. Much smaller Bay Area and Washington has nearly as many millionaire households than LA and more than Chicago. GDP figures don't tell the whole story.

Doesn't Washington DC MSA have like 5 of the top 10 wealthiest counties in the US, i don't San Fran can compare to that!
As I stated earlier, DC beats SF in Median Household Income but SF beats DC in Per Capita Income.
