The best 15 states to live in if you want to get rich

Where do the wealthiest Americans live? 

According to a recent report by GOBankingRates, Connecticut is the nation's richest state.

The personal finance site determined the most financially successful states by analyzing seven factors: the average income of the top 1%; the average income of the bottom 99%; poverty rates; the percentage of the population in the upper, middle, and lower classes; the number of millionaire households; the percentage of millionaire households; and the number of billionaires.

Of course, we can't promise you'll strike it rich if you move to — or live in — one of these states, but you're bound to be surrounded by financially successful individuals.

Here, we've highlighted the top 15 states, according to GOBankingRates. Read on to see if yours made the cut.
