Millionaires are leaving Chicago more than any other city in the United States on a net basis, according to a new report.

About 3,000 individuals with net assets of $1 million or more, not including their primary residence, moved from the city last year, with many citing rising racial tensions and worries about crime as factors in the decision, according to research firm New World Wealth. That represented about 2 percent of the city's high net worth individuals.

Cities in the United States that saw a net inflow of millionaires included Seattle and San Francisco.

Chicago was among four cities worldwide with the biggest flight of millionaires.

Forgive me, I meant in reference to both North and South Carolina. Guess I was being a little lazy earlier this am, so once again, please accept my apologies.

LOL - it’s all good. NC residents have bumper stickers that clear up these facts for folks who are just passing through. ;-)

Millionaires are leaving Chicago, report says

Chicago, New York, New Jersey, California, and all the other liberal states, are the biggest jobs and wealth creators in the country. Problem is that, they're creating those jobs and wealth in other states that they move to. However, it's not a problem for the states that they move into, except for the other problem they bring with them, and that's their liberal voting record.

If a ceo had their top people leaving the company they would be fired.
In Illinois the governors go to jail while the latest mayor of Chicago rakes in millions.

You’re probably right...
