Coincidentally, Marin also has the most shopaholics? I never would have guessed that.

Hey Big Spender!: MapInfo found that folks in Marin County, California were most likely to open their wallets wide, leading the nation with the highest average household expenditure. Big shoppers in the Bay Area are well represented with San Mateo ranking fourth and Santa Clara ranking ninth. New Jersey, home to more malls per square mile than any other state, also topped the list with Morris and Somerset Counties ranking fifth and sixth.

According to O's latest statement not increasing middle-class taxes, the national avg. for that extends up to $250k per household.

Now, assuming you're talking about people who make millions per year, then several places in Hawaii, California, Colorado and Connecticut come to mind.

Places like Brighton and Pittsford would fit the bill for the Rochester area.
