That really needs to include addresses and names to be more complete and helpful for people who like reference information

All it takes is a simple search.
But, remember, there are people not listed, people with so much power they can stay off lists. The list only includes the ones who don't mind everyone knowing they're filthy rich assholes.
Zuckerberg and Ellison both have Hawaiian islands so they are easy to find and have nowhere to go.
Like the local sex offender website gets a drop down menu to switch it to showing billionaires?
Kinda surprised NH has no billionaires.
We also wonna know the lives of the rich and famous. What their day to day is like. Where they go out to eat, random stuff like that.
MOST of the billionaires live in California, New York, Florida, and Texas - a quick search says about 540 of them. And even if you're in those states, billionaires tend to not live by us poors
The closest you can get to backing up this claim is to isolate it to just one city...and even then, you're only *likely" to live by a billionaire if you're very generous with what counts as "near"
Idk I live in Kansas and our billionaire lives right in the middle of most of us. In a heavily guarded complex of course, but still there.
Hell, I don’t even need to click the link to know where my nearest one is.
An anecdote doesn't disprove what I said, though. If everyone were spaced and distributed evenly, there would be 450k people in between each billionaire
I'll admit I'm a nitpicker but this isn't one of those times, the claim in the OP makes 0 sense
My local asshole is this guy. Not a bad thing to become a billionaire over, but a billionaire is a billionaire, and they're all assholes:
From 2021:
Longtime Albuquerque resident Ron Corio is now billionaire No. 2,524 on Forbes’ annual list of the world’s richest people.
The magazine, which published its latest rundown of global billionaires this week, said Corio is New Mexico’s first billionaire, with a net worth of $1.1 billion as of April 6.
The New Jersey native, who came to New Mexico in 1979, launched Array Technologies in 1989 at the age of 28 with just $16,000 in personal funds. He built the company – which makes tracking systems for solar arrays that tilt and turn the panels to follow the sun – into a manufacturing mammoth that now controls 30% of the U.S. solar-tracker market.
