This place is counted among such cities, where there is a crowd of billionaires and millionaires are just a common thing. Every street, every corner here is a part of the ‘Million Dollar Neighbourhood’.

Not only this, the annual household income of the people living here ranges from $ 250,000 (about Rs 2 crore) to $ 525,000 (about Rs 4.6 crore), which is many times more than the average income of America.
The residents here are not ordinary people, but names like Google CEO Sundar Pichai, Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg, former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer and former Google CEO Eric Schmidt live in this area.
The residents here are not just rich, but are also the most influential people in the tech industry who decide the direction of the world. The biggest feature of Atherton is its peace and privacy. The roads here are wide, there are tall trees and greenery around the houses, which make it different from other areas.
Away from the eyes of the media, this place is no less than a private paradise for high-profile people. The grandeur of the houses here is also worth seeing. Every house has facilities like spacious lawn, swimming pool, tennis court, guest house and hi-tech security system.
