Forbes' Fancy Folktale: According to Forbes' 2023 list, Houston boasts somewhere around 15 billionaires. That's a whole lot of folks with more money than they know what to do with! Imagine the rodeo tickets they can buy, or the gallons of sweet tea they can sip down at the Galleria!

Wealth-X's Wild West Figures: Now, Wealth-X chimes in with an even higher estimate, claiming Houston has closer to 18 billionaires. Maybe they're counting all the ranchers who struck oil on their land?
So, which number is right?
The truth is, it's likely somewhere in between. Billionaires are a secretive bunch, and tracking their exact wealth can be tricky. But hey, that's just part of the allure, right?
One thing's for sure, Houston's got some serious spending power. Maybe you'll bump into one of these bigwigs at a fancy rodeo or sipping sweet tea at the Galleria. Just be sure to have your autograph book handy (and maybe a spare million bucks for a loan...one can dream!)
