Where Does El Paso Stand?

According to this report, this may indicate that wealth in El Paso is more generational than earned. In contrast, Texas’ Fort Worth ranked #5, showcasing a more promising environment for aspiring millionaires.

Here’s How They Came To That Conclusion:

The study considered key factors influencing financial growth, including the Cost of Living Index, access to investment funds, average income, education rates, GDP per capita, and the current concentration of millionaires. 

These elements were combined into a weighted score, ranking states and 20 US cities by their likelihood of becoming a millionaire.

Where Should I Move To Become A Millionaire?!

San Francisco emerged as the top city with a millionaire index score of 94/100, while California was declared the best state for aspiring millionaires, boasting 17.9% of its population as millionaires. 

California's prominence is no surprise given its robust venture capital scene, particularly in Silicon Valley. In 2023, California secured $1.03 billion in investment funds, accounting for 41% of the US total. 

Additionally, Californians enjoy an average annual income of $73,220, significantly higher than the national average, despite the state's high cost of living. With a 9% chance of becoming a millionaire, California remains a top destination for those chasing the American Dream, despite the occasional $26 bottle of water at Erewhon.

Where is the WORST place to become a millionaire?

On the other end of the spectrum, Mississippi was the toughest state for potential millionaires, scoring just 2/100.

Alright so El Paso isn’t the WORST place to live in when it comes to becoming a millionaire so I guess we’ll take that win!
