Unbelievably, The Wealthiest Town In Montana Is Not Big Sky

How Is Big Sky Not Montana's Wealthiest Town?

You'd be hard-pressed to find many long-time Montana residents who are excited about all the new transplants coming to our state.

I think you'd find even LESS people who are excited about the wealthy elite coming to our state, closing off public lands, and driving property taxes through the roof.

Montana: Where The Rich Come To Play

It's hard to discuss the wealthy and the elite in Montana without discussing Big Sky or the Yellowstone Club, which is right nearby.

The Yellowstone Club, which was established in 1997, requires an initiation fee up front of at least $400,000. Then you have your annual dues of over $40,000 per year.

You know, the type of money that we Montanans find hidden in our couch cushions on a Tuesday.

What Is The Most Wealthy Town In Montana?

With Big Sky claiming as residents people such as Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake, you would think they'd easily be the wealthiest city in Montana, but you'd be wrong.

The wealthiest city in Montana is about as far away from the mountains and private ski resorts as you can get.

It boasts a population of less than 2,000, and I don't think any of them are from Hollywood either.

I think you'll be as shocked as I was when you scroll through and see the richest town in Montana and all the other states in America.
