With 199 billionaires, it surpasses entire nations like Germany, India, and the UK in ultra-wealthy residents.
If California were its own country, it would rank 4th in the world for billionaire population — just behind the U.S., China, and India (as a whole).
This immense wealth isn’t spread evenly.
It’s concentrated along the coast — in the glass towers of Silicon Valley, the mega-mansions of Bel-Air, and the exclusive enclaves of Malibu.
Meanwhile, entire U.S. states like West Virginia and Alaska don’t have a single billionaire.
This extreme disparity paints a clear picture of America’s growing wealth gap — where zip codes can determine economic destiny, and a few square miles generate more capital than entire regions.
