To outsiders, Connecticut has something of a reputation as a luxurious place. People often think of the state as a preppy region where everyone wears polo shirts and boat shoes on their 160-foot superyachts. Those who have spent a lot of time here know that like every other state, Connecticut has wealthy areas and more impoverished ones. However, it is true that overall, the Nutmeg State is richer than most. Actual ranking depends on what metrics are used, but in general, Connecticut ranks within the five wealthiest states in the country. And out of all the towns in Connecticut, none are wealthier than Greenwich in Fairfield County. The town has attracted the rich and famous for over a century.
