One of the wealthiest towns in the world. However its more low key neighbors, Portola Valley, Woodiside, and Hillsborough, have much higher median incomes than the snobs of this town. While it may have a couple of billionaires, which raises their overall median income, this town would be no greater than Los Altos, without them. Oh yes, and their overly pretentious residents love to flaunt a meretricious display of superiority.

Having money doesn't you have class...
sincerely, Portola Valley/Woodside (where the old money is)
Carlos: oh man, your from Atherton??
John: yep
Carlos: whats it like?
John: well we won the lottery a while back and my family decided to move to a town with people like us. We spent all our money and now were in debt like the majority of our Athertonian neighbors.

Carlos: huh....

(if only it were this clear)
