Maricopa County movin' on up millionaire list

In today's Arizona Republic it was reported that we are getting richer!

Maricopa County movin' on up millionaire list: "Maricopa County ranks fourth in the United States in the number of millionaire households. It counts 106,210, or roughly 8.2 percent of all households, as having $1 million-plus in net worth. Orange County counts 113,299 households and took the third spot.

In 2000, Maricopa County ranked sixth in the survey.

One reason for the county's upward movement is due to the overall population boom. There are also plenty of retirees who've made their fortunes elsewhere, or at least have saved and invested wisely and relocated to Arizona to settle into the twilight years of warm weather and golf."

Coupling that with all of the new jobs that are coming to the Valley it seems like sunny skies are here for a while.
