Houston's millionaires, by the numbers

Houston's millionaire population is growing.

By the numbers: An estimated 90,900 millionaires called the Bayou City home by the end of 2023, up 70% from 10 years earlier, according to a new analysis from New World Wealth published by Henley & Partners.

• That figure includes 258 centi-millionaires — those with a net worth of at least $100 million — and 18 billionaires.

The intrigue: Houston ranked fifth among U.S. cities for the number of billionaires.

• California's Bay Area took the cake with 68 billionaires. New York City ranked second with 60, Los Angeles was third with 43, and Chicago was fourth with 24.

Worth noting: Drake, a new resident of Greater Houston , has a net worth close to $250 million.

• His friend Tilman Fertitta, who owns the Rockets, Landry's and several other properties, has a net worth around $9.3 billion .
