Richest Counties

So where are the richest counties in the US?

I'm thinking probably where all those hedge fund whores live around NYC.

Or maybe Silicon Valley where all those tech gurus reside.

Or maybe Texas where all those JR Ewing oil company types live

But I would be wrong.

Five of the top 10 wealthiest counties in the country surround Washington DC, where they produce what?

If you want to get a sense of what an economic powerhouse Washington has become in recent years, look no further than the Virginia suburb of Falls Church City.

Boasting a strong school system and positioned about six miles from the nation's capital, Falls Church has for years enticed rich families, making it the nation's richest county with median annual household income of $113,313.
