Millionaires in Franconia: Where the rich really live!

Millionaires in Franconia: Where the rich really live!

A look at the Bavarian millionaire landscape reveals exciting numbers and connections. Rasmus Stjernholm, who runs the Nuremberg café Basecoffee, can look forward to a respectable annual turnover of around two million euros. A survey by the Bavarian State Office for Statistics makes it clear that in 2021 there were a total of 7,707 income millionaires in Bavaria who earned a share of income that was almost unimaginable: a full 6.1 percent of total income came from just 0.1 percent of those with unlimited tax liability. These high-performing citizens also pay a significant amount of income tax – a total of 11.9 percent.

The geographical distribution of wealth is also exciting. Over 54 percent of Bavarian income millionaires live in Upper Bavaria, making the region a hotspot for wealth. In Franconia there are a total of 337 income millionaires in independent cities. The top position is hotly contested for the city of Nuremberg, which is at the top with 191 millionaires. This means that it clearly leads the rankings in the Middle Franconia administrative region, where a total of 693 income millionaires live.
