Texas: A Wealth Powerhouse

Texas has solidified its position as a powerhouse in the U.S. wealth landscape, driven by its business-friendly environment, low taxes, and diverse economy. According to the Henley & Partners USA Wealth Report 2025, Houston ranks 5th nationally with 81,800 millionaires (1.11% of its 7.34 million population), Dallas 6th with 72,400 (0.90% of 8.01 million), and Austin 10th with 32,000 (1.32% of 2.43 million). These cities have seen millionaire growth rates of 75%, 85%, and 90% respectively from 2014 to 2024, far surpassing New York City (45%) and Los Angeles (35%).

Economic Drivers

The state’s appeal lies in its economic diversity and pro-business policies. Texas has no state income tax, making it a magnet for wealthy individuals and corporations. Its major cities are hubs for key industries: energy and healthcare in Houston, technology and finance in Dallas, and tech and renewable energy in Austin. The Comerica 2025 Texas Economic Outlook predicts that Texas’s economy will outpace the national average in 2025, driven by energy, job growth, and business relocations. The state’s real estate market is booming, with high rental yields and property appreciation, particularly in Dallas and Austin.

National Comparison

Texas’s combined 186,200 millionaires surpass Chicago’s 127,100 and rival Los Angeles’s 220,600. With 42 billionaires across its top cities, Texas also outranks most metros outside the Bay Area and New York. The Dallas Fed’s 2025 Outlook notes business optimism despite challenges like tariffs and declining immigration, highlighting deregulation and tax cuts as tailwinds. As Texas continues to attract high-net-worth individuals, its real estate market offers unparalleled opportunities for investors.
