There are only around 2,400 people in the entire world whose net worth is more than $1 billion, and over a quarter of them live in America alone.
24/7 Wall St. released a list of how many billionaires reside in each US state, and which city in the state housed the most individuals with the impressive net worth.
So which Kentucky city prevailed?
The second-largest city in the state, Lexington, has the most billionaires in Kentucky.
Two of the state's billionaires live in the "horse capital of the world."
The combined net worth of the billionaires living in the Lexington is around $8.5 billion.
The wealthiest billionaire in Kentucky is Tamara Gustavson, the daughter of B. Wayne Hughes, the founder and chairman of Public Storage, a self-storage company.
The runner-up city in Kentucky was Louisville, with one billionaire living there. That billionaire has a net worth of around $1.1 billion.
To determine the city in each state that has the most billionaires, 24/7 Wall St. used data from Forbes' Real Time Billionaires list.
Residency and net worth data came from the list, which is updated every five minutes for accuracy.
