RIVERSIDE, CT -- Sean Goldrick, a resident of Riverside, CT and who served two terms on the Board of Estimate and Taxation for the Greenwich finance board, gives the facts on the growth of wealthy individuals living in Connecticut. " In the fall of 2010, just before Democratic governor-elect Dannel Malloy took office, Forbes reported that there were 11 billionaires living in the state of Connecticut. This spring, as Malloy began his seventh year in office, Forbes revealed that there are now 17 billionaires in the state, of whom an even dozen live in Greenwich. In other words, there are now more billionaires living in the town of Greenwich than there were in the entire state just before Governor Malloy took office." " there are more billionaires in the state than ever. The state features a higher percentage of millionaires than any state but Maryland, and the percentage of millionaires is rising. And contrary to the specious narrative that Connecticut corporations are heading for the exit, the truth is that Connecticut’s private sector is adding jobs at a brisk pace."
