Carr, Associate Editor and Featured Columnist What is the wealthiest city in the United States? Which zip code is home to the highest earning people in the country? Take a look behind the security gates at some of the priciest real estate in the country and find out which zip codes attract the richest residents in America. Where exactly do the rich live? We’ve compiled a list of the top 10 richest neighborhoods in America based on figures from the IRS for Adjusted Gross Income (in zip codes with over 10,000 returns filed). Take a look at the following 10 wealthiest zip codes and plan your next move. 1. 06830 Greenwich Connecticut Take $40 million mansions, upscale and designer-clad residents, views of Long Island Sound and the most desirable address in the state and you have the epitome of a zip code that adds up to money. Named after the leafy, and well-off, borough in London, England, Greenwich has an abundance of private schools and a whole lot of expensive cars hidden away in tree-lined driveways. Its proximity to Manhattan (under an hour by train) and the abundance of financial service companies and hedge funds attract the high earning money-men and women to Greenwich. People here have an average salary of $206,587 per tax return. And the real estate? Don’t expect to get anything for much less then $4 million. Mel Gibson bought a 76-acre estate for $39.5 million. The 28- room property that formerly belonged to Leona Helmsley (with koi pond, wine cellar and tasting room, carriage house and 86-foot-long gallery) was on the market for $42.9 million. Currently available is a 6- bedroom, 9-bathroom $42.5 million mansion with fitness room, home theatre and wine cellar. Private lakes, formal gardens and sun rooms the size of apartments are the norm. Perhaps hinting at the more shadowy side of upscale suburban life, The Stepford Wives (2004) was filmed here, as was 2008’s film of class angst Revolutionary Road. 2. 90210 Beverly Hills California 90210, possibly the most famous zip code in America thanks to the 1980s TV hit. And Beverly Hills wealth isn’t just a screen dream. The residents of this moneyed city earn an average salary of $193,425 a year – and that IRS figure seems a little low considering the list of stars, CEOs and heiresses Beverly Hills attracts. Think Beverly Hills and you can’t help but picture wealthy celebrities strutting the shiny sidewalk of Rodeo Drive with tiny dogs and mega-sunglasses. Real estate here is the stuff of legend. Take the Palais des Anges off the hands of the realtor for a mere $95 million. This French Palladian is set on a private knoll overlooking Sunset Boulevard and boasts a library with hand-carved staircase, 50-foot entry hall, spa, separate two-bed apartment, art-deco nightclub, living room with 22-foot high arched ceiling and an outdoor terrace with space for 400 for a sit-down meal. Jennifer Aniston’s property in Beverly Hills is tiny in comparison –she sold her estate for around $37 million. 3. 60045 Lake Forest Illinois With a history of polo and a continuing tradition of games played every year, moneyed residents and a leafy environment, this plush city comes in at number three on the list of desirable zip codes. Lake Forest is located along the shores of Lake Michigan and residents of this Illinois city have an average income of $275,116. The city was founded around Lake Forest College – this upscale educational institution was recently given an added boost by a $7 million donation from “mystery” millionaire Grace Groner. Until her death, Groner appeared to be the least flashy of this city’s residents until her hidden wealth was revealed with the posthumous gift. 4. 06880 Westport Connecticut Westport was made famous by the I Love Lucy and Bewitched TV shows and this wealthy town is still pulling in the viewers. Located on the beautiful Long Island Sound just 47 miles from New York City, Westport is the residence of choice for New York commuters with cash and old-moneyed families. Westport is home to a number of investment companies, venture capital firms and headquarters of global brands and fortune 500 companies. Westport was home to actor Paul Newman and is still home to singer Michael Bolton and writer and producer Phil Donahue. But some people don’t get on with the $204,863-incomed neighbors – Martha Stewart sold her 19th century farmhouse-style mansion and moved out of the seaside town citing an "unfriendly neighborhood atmosphere" and a difficult commute to New York. 5. 10022 New York, New York Manhattan, New York City, New York – if you can afford to live in one of the stylish apartments here you’re probably working in the financial district, as a lawyer or as a surgeon at one of New York City’s top hospitals. If you live here you’re earning upwards of the average salary of $174,490. 10022 is Midtown East and home to the United Nations Headquarters overlooking the Hudson River. 10022 borders a corner of Central Park and the Times Square Theater District. Apartments go for upwards of $1 million and you’ll likely pay sky-high prices for more than one room. 6. 60093 Winnetka Illinois Donald Rumsfeld and Rock Hudson grew up in this Republican stronghold north of downtown Chicago. Other famous residents include Chris O’Donnell and Jenny Sanford, the former First Lady of South Carolina. With a population of just over 12,000, this bijoux village has more than its fair share of wealthy homeowners. The median family income is $195,879 and the average price of a family home is $1,316,052. Winnetka also wins for being the home of one of America’s most privileged public schools, New Trier High School. 7. 07901 Summit New Jersey No pun intended, but if you live here you’ve probably reached the heights of affluent living. Summit is a well-off suburb of New York City whose residents bring home, on average, a salary of $162,180 a year. If you’re looking for a real estate bargain, look elsewhere – the median house price in Summit was $655,000 in 2009 and taxes are sky-high. Ice-T went to school here and Meryl Streep lived in the neighborhood. Apparently, The Velvet Underground made their first paid appearance here at the Summit High School prom. 8. 30327 Atlanta Georgia Just north of Midtown, home to law firms, fortune 500 companies and corporate headquarters, is the well-heeled zip code of 30327 Atlanta Georgia. With views of skyscrapers through the tree-lined streets, the residents of this neighborhood enjoy an average family income of $235,375 a year. While Atlanta is home to all levels of living, this zip code is definitely at the more privileged end of the scale. 9. 78746 Austin Texas Austin may be famous as the “Live Music Capital of the World” but if you live in 78746 you also like a bit of peace and quiet. Living in this neighborhood is a little like living in the country. This zip code encompasses the neighborhoods of West Lake Hills and Lost Creek, and borders Barton Creek, which is home to Barton Creek Wilderness Park. 78746 is close to downtown but with hills, woodlands and winding roads. Residents here have an average income of $200,771and you’ll have to pay upwards of $500,00 to even think about getting on the property ladder. Homes here are popular with technology managers and high-level Austin executives. 10. 90272 Pacific Palisades California You may have seen this affluent Los Angeles city on the small screen. Pacific Palisades is the real-life home of Larry David and the home of his character in HBO’s Curb Your Enthusiasm. And Baywatch was filmed here, at the Lifeguard Headquarters on Will Rogers State Beach in Pacific Palisades. Prosperous Pacific Palisades is bordered by equally affluent neighbors Santa Monica, Malibu and Topanga and attracts CEOs, singers and actors. Your neighbors include Ben Affleck, Tom Hanks, Goldie Hawn and Nicole Kidman and the average income of residents is $203,653. This is not the place to find an entry-level home, unless you’ve just won American Idol or sold your tech company to Microsoft. Actor Kate Hudson just spent $5.3 million on her new house here, complete with five bedrooms, gym, pool and six bathrooms.
