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.

Happening here in NJ as well, though “racial tensions” aren’t the issue (the millionaires live nowhere near them and never see them). Taxes are chasing them out, and I wouldn’t be surprised if that played an unreported role in Chicago as well.
Murders up
Taxes up
Lousy topic sentence. What does that even mean?
Yes, I know I could probably find out by reading the article, but one shouldn't have to dig out a translation of the opening sentence.
Assets more than a million bucks?
Pshaw! You have to have ten million to be rich these days....
Most probably set up condo homes in the Caribbean and fly into Chicago once or twice a month to conduct business.
At least they can find comfort in knowing their votes will carry on for decades.
Another one bites the dust! Thanks to liberalism.
The Pritzkers will stay. They’ll take all the leavings.
I have 25 cents in one bank account and 1.61 in another till my next paycheck.
What category am I in :)
The wife has a couple hundred grand in 401k and more accessible funds.
Guess i’m not going anywhere. Getting back on my feet after many years home sick and working again full time.
Those accounts will be up to 100 bucks in no time!!
Feet first?
If they leave Chicago and keep voting Dumbocrat in somewhere like Texas or the Carolinas, they should then have their assets frozen and made to live in North Korea for two years.
It's awful now in both places.
Florida ain’t the only place.
Phoenix is completely Californicated and it is spreading through out the state.
It’s amazing what Obama and his buddy Rahm have done for their hometown.
East Charlotte NC, Raleigh Durham, Fort Mill SC, San Antonio, to name a few more.
This is the problem....these people vote this twisted world view into being.....then cannot connect the dots on their own consequences......become horrified at the world that they created around them.....move elsewhere that looks desirable.....bring their values with them and continue to vote their twisted world view........therefore further infecting a new environment.........they are a ‘Blue Ebola Epidemic’....each person a world-view-carrying-virus with a million dollars.
“somewhere like Texas or the Carolinas”
This is Carolina. That other place is South Carolina. Know the difference.
Another liberal hell hole being left to decay?
