Growing up in Arizona, most everyone knew that the wealthiest city in the state was Paradise Valley. They have their fancy golf courses, resorts, spas and million-dollar homes. Thinking about that made me realize that I couldn’t tell you what the richest town in Texas was.

I figured it would probably near Dallas, Houston or Austin, considering those are some of the most hustling and bustling cities in the state. It turns out the richest town in Texas in in fact a suburb of Houston. It's called Bunker Hill Village, and I can absolutely see why it's the wealthiest town in Texas.
