The Wealthiest Minnesotans Live in These 10 Counties

Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous was a popular TV show when I was a kid. It gave viewers a behind-the-scenes look at the luxurious lives of wealthy celebrities. Hosted by Robin Leach, the show featured stars showing off their mansions, fancy cars, private jets, and other expensive possessions. Later, in the early 2000s, MTV created a similar show called MTV Cribs.

If there were a Minnesota version of either of those shows, it would likely be filmed in one of the 10 counties listed below. SmartAsset, a financial website, released a new study showing where the wealthiest people in Minnesota live.
