9. Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA
Per Capita Personal Income: $54,526
U.S. Rank: 25
GDP: $930,817 millions
U.S. Rank: 2
Although Los Angeles is the second richest city in the United States in terms of GDP, it still fell down the list due to poor per capita personal income. It looks like the actors are not paid that well anymore. L.A. is the second largest city by population in the United States, having 13 million residents, while the metropolitan area, including Long Beach and Anaheim has 16 million residents. As you may assume, the entertainment is among the biggest contributors to the city’s economy.
