Bezos is not the only billionaire that can afford to buy every home in a city. Bill Gates has a net worth of $96 billion and as such is the second wealthiest man in the world. If Bill Gates wanted to buy all of the homes in a city, he need not look further than Charlotte, North Carolina. Redfin estimates that Charlotte’s 310,000 homes would cost him $92.4 billion. Warren Buffett’s $82 billion would get him all of the 210,000 homes in Nashville for $79.1 billion.
Tesla boss Elon Musk could buy the 100,000 homes in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina IF he was able to talk them down a bit. He has a net worth of $19 billion and Myrtle Beach’s homes cost $19.4 billion.
Redfin calculated the value of all the homes in U.S. cities that have more than 1,000 homes to determine which cities the richest people in the world could afford to buy every single home in the city. Redfin excluded apartment buildings and rental units.
