Seattle is minting millionaires by the thousands

It appears Bezos wasn’t the canary in the coal mine predicting a mass exodus of Seattle’s wealthiest residents. At least not according to a new study from UK wealth advisory firm Henley & Partners. It found Seattle added 3,700 millionaires in the past year, bringing the total to 54,200.

The numbers come from the firm’s proprietary database, which tracks the migration of 150,000 high net-worth people around the world. Seattle also gained a billionaire, even as it lost one of the world’s most famous ones.
