Millions for New Jersey

If you are a millionaire, congratulations! You belong to one of 242,647 millionaire households in the great state of New Jersey, according to the latest figures released by Phoenix, a market research firm that tracks the wealthy.

We might pale in comparison to the 777,624 millionaire households in California, or the 429,153 millionaire households in New York, but both those states are much bigger than us. The percentage of millionaire households in New Jersey, 7.49 percent, ranks second only to Maryland.

The hot newcomer in the millionaire rankings, though, is North Dakota. Thanks to its natural gas boom, North Dakota has risen from 43rd in the number of millionaires in 2011 all the way to 29th in 2012, adding 1,800 new millionaire households in one year. That puts it one spot ahead of Florida.
