Boston Tops in State Millionaire Report

Not only is Massachusetts getting a lot of snow, but there appear to be a blizzard of millionaires in the state.

The Boston Business Journal has released its 2015 Millionaire Report, stating that “in the three years following the Great Recession, the number of Bay State residents reporting at least $1 million in annual income skyrocketed, the amount of their collective earnings bumping up against the $50 billion threshold in 2012 alone. That figure was up by roughly a third from two years prior.”

The BBJ used numbers from the Department of Revenue to compile its annual list. Note that 2012 is the latest tax return list that is available.

Boston clocked in at number seven, with 35.1 millionaires per square mile and a 2011 income per capita of $35,786.
