From 4 To Now 6 Billionaires, Montana Is Changing

Montana’s Billionaire Population Is Growing

With a nickname like “The Last Best Place,” it’s no surprise people have always come to Montana to get away from it all.

Lately though, it feels like it’s less about visiting and more about people deciding, “Yeah, I’m staying.”

How Big Money Is Changing Montana

And it’s not just everyday folks making the move. Some of the wealthiest people in the world have decided Montana is where they want to call home.

Just a couple years ago, Montana had four billionaires. Now we’re up to six.

And that doesn’t even include the growing number of millionaires who’ve moved in, bought property, or joined exclusive spots like the Yellowstone Club.

Why Wealthy Buyers Are Flocking To Montana

When you think about it, it makes sense. If you’ve got more money than you could ever spend, Montana offers something you can’t always buy elsewhere. Space, privacy, and peace and quiet. You can grab a huge piece of land, keep things low-key, and stay out of the spotlight.

Of course, for a lot of longtime Montanans, the changes haven’t exactly been easy to watch. I don’t think many of us ever expected to be sharing the state with half a dozen billionaires.

Montana will always be Big Sky Country, but these days, there’s definitely some big money mixed in too.

So who are the six billionaires now calling Montana home, and how did they make their fortunes? Check out the gallery to find out.
