I'm willing to bet that the millionaires' decline isn't only due to folks moving out of NYC… it's also likely due to the collapse and liquidation of Wall Street. I'm sure many people who were "millionaires" on paper are no longer in that status thanks to the market meltdown, ongoing fraud, funny accounting, "off balance sheet assets" being moved "on balance sheet," ad nauseum.
