When you think of Naples, you think of money. If you’ve ever wondered just how many billionaires live there, Forbes just released their 2023 list of the richest people on the planet. In 2023, there are 92 billionaires in Florida and seven in Naples.
Anytime I drive by a super huge house or see someone driving a car that costs more than I’ll make in 5 years of work, I’m always tempted to ask what they do for a living. I know there’s a few TikTok accounts that ask those questions. One guy hangs down on 5th Avenue South in Naples all the time and a guy in Miami too, but after seeing some of the reactions he gets, I’ll pass and just dream.
America is home to more than billionaires than any other country in the world. 735 to be exact, talk about the American dream. Being a billionaire is the ultimate dream for many people. But once you’ve got all the money in the world, what’s next? I mean, you finally have enough money to buy all the avocado toast you’ve ever wanted! And with the money left over, you can buy the whole avocado farm. You can also afford to buy all the bubble wrap you want and pop it until you’re blue in the face. Instead of just owning just one mansion, you can own one on every beach in the state. I also feel like a good hobby to take up would be collecting luxury yachts, because who needs just one?
You might be asking what kind of industries these billionaires made their money in. Really, it’s just a few: finance & investments, technology, food & drink, fashion & retail and media & entertainment.
