We've mapped out each state to show you every state's richest resident, along with a breakdown of his or her individual net worth.
It's worth noting that some of the country's wealthiest individuals — like Amazon's Jeff Bezos — are not the wealthiest resident of their own state and therefore are not included on this list.
