1 New York Spot Home To More Billionaires Than Any Place In The World

One hometown in New York State is home to more billionaires than any other place in the entire world!

Years ago, Hudson Valley resident Travie McCoy teamed up with mega-star Bruno Mars for their hit song Billionaire.

Some of the lyrics include:

I wanna be a billionaire so bad
Buy all of the things I never had
Uh, I wanna be on the cover of Forbes magazine
Smiling next to Oprah and the Queen

McCoy has called Dutchess County home for years.

Neither are actually billionaires, but turns out many billionaires live in New York State. More than anywhere else in the world, actually.
