A Look At Some Of The Most Expensive Homes in America’s Richest County (Teton, Wyoming)

Photos: The Most Expensive Homes in America’s Richest County -- Vocativ 

What $55 million gets you in Teton, Wyoming A lot of people in Teton, Wyoming, the land of ranches and ski resorts, don’t live normal lives.

That’s because it’s the single richest county in America—has been, actually, for a number of years now. According to recent data from the IRS, the average income in Teton is just shy of $300,000—the highest in the United States. Nationwide, the average American income is just over $62,000.

That number is, of course, heavily skewed by the fact that Teton is a playground for business, political and entertainment titans. Dick Cheney and Harrison Ford have homes there, and Sandra Bullock reportedly just spent her 50th birthday at the Million Dollar Cowboy Bar—a local watering hole. Tiger Woods and Judge Judy are residents, too.

With so many celebs, it’s not shocking that the county of 22,000 people has a lot of fabulous homes. Below are the priciest mansions currently on the block, via RealtyTrac.

My Comment: This is the first time that I am hearing about Teton, Wyoming. Then again ... I am not rich. But for those who love to live in the wild .... and dream of living it in a million plus log cabin .... these homes are for you.
