        Just so ya know, the centi- prefix in the metric system denotes 1/100 of a quantity, so a centimillionaire would have $10,000. The prefix for 100x a quantity is hecto-. S’pose we could also call them a decibillionaire. But you probably caught the allusion to wealth inequality faster than I did.

      I donlt think that there’s a directory of the wealthy, but:

      The Poorest ZIP Codes in America

      I doubt that any of those have someone with a net worth over $100 million living there.

      EDIT: I notice that Huntington, WV is on there, and I’ve used that as an example of a place with quite inexpensive housing before, if you’re location-agnostic from a work standpoint, can work remotely or are retired or something.

        The problem being that you are subject to living with shitty education, health services (especially for women), and an abundance of Trump-tards.

    I couldn’t stand the thought of a socialist running a city that is supposed to be managed by egomaniacal kleptocrats. Still, I held out hope that Mamdani’s sex-offender opponent would ultimately prevail.

    This thing is pure gold 🤣

      Don’t wear black slacks and a tan shirt there on St. Pat’s though.

      but, Be Good - or Begone.
