“San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, better known to the outside world as Silicon Valley, is the greediest city in America, with 1.57 members of the Forbes 400 per 100,000 residents. Google alone, based in Santa Clara county, has generated several thousand stock-option millionaires. Rich-listers in the area include Google’s Sergey Brin Sergey Brin, with a net worth of $18.5 billion; Apple CEO Steve Jobs Steve Jobs, with $ 5.7 billion; and venture capitalist Michael Moritz, with $ 1.3 billion.
