I would like to know if Rye, New Hampshire ever had the most
billionaires per capita of any town in the US.

Do you mean as residents, or just gathered at some time?
Did maybe Billionaires for Bush meet in Rye, NH?

Ha.  No i mean Residents of the town itself.  My guess is it may have
been true in the mid to late ninities.  I heard the number was 8
billionaires in a town of probably 5,000 residents at most.  The town
apparently lost this billionaire status after the family owners of a
food chain broke up & the money was divided.

I would imagine most billionaires for Bush would meet in Kennebunkport, Me.

Maybe the story has something to do with Tyco executives investing in
Rye and neighboring towns:

This site from the last political campaign speaks of "the
billionaires' club", but I expect that is hyp..

I don't know any billionaires who would go to an opposition's political gathering
(but then, I don't know any at all :-).

Thanks, but both links are the same.  Neither answers any real
questions, but is certainly an interesting read.  I am looking for a
more definitive answer.
