Business Week magazaine just came out with the top 25 list of wealthiest towns in America—and numero uno was Brookville, an exclusive enclave of tycoons on Long Island where the average net worth is $1.7 million. I wonder how many of the residents there invested with Bernie Madoff.
Nine Long Island towns made the list. Westchester County looks modest by comparison.
Scarsdale, a stereotype of suburban wealth ranks 20th on the list. Net worth: $1.5 million.

Don’t know about the average Net worth, but the average Net pay is $4,100,00,.00 per year. Average Knick pay is $7.200,000.00 per. Brings into question the old, once-accepted adage, “you get what you pay for.”
