Alpine, NJ made #8 on the most expensive zip code list and New Vernon, NJ made #10. Eat that you Jersey bashers.

They be living silly except for Warren Buffett.

Bill Gates
Medina, Wash.
Rank: 1
Net Worth: $46.6 billion
Bill Gates has gone underground. The high-tech billionaire's home is built into a hillside on the edge of Lake Washington, near Seattle. The 66,000-square-foot compound includes a 60-foot-long swimming pool with an underwater music system, a domed library with two "secret" bookcase doors and a 1,000-square-foot dining room. The family quarters, however, are said to be modest. The estate includes 11 surrounding properties that Gates bought, which goes some way toward explaining his local taxes. The properties are valued at nearly $140 million, and this year's bill came to $1.1 million, according to the King County Journal.
Warren Buffett
Omaha, Nebr.
Rank: 2
Net Worth: $44 billion
The "Oracle of Omaha" lives in mighty modest digs, given the size of his fortune. He still resides in the gray stucco home he bought in 1958 for $31,500. Totaling about 6,000 square feet, in 2003 the Happy Hollow house was assessed at just $700,000 (though the value investor thought it was really worth about $500,000). Buffett sold one of his two properties in Laguna Beach, Calif., but retained one valued at about $4 million. That's still less than one hundredth of a percent of his estimated net worth.
