Where do the Super affluent and affluent live in Oregon?

Real money? In Central Oregon:

The old money is in Tumalo, mostly with horses.

Money from huge national level businesses is in Sisters. Mostly with horses.

Equity immigrant money, including movie stars, located in SunRiver, without horses.

Multi-generation money, go out east and there are multi-thousands of acre cattle ranches worth many millions and the families own helicopters and hire many employees. Contrary to what the progressive insist, the ranchers and farmers are all college educated and have good teeth.

With the exception of SunRiver, you'll never be able to pick out who has money just by looking at them. There are no fancy cars and the houses aren't all that huge or mansion-like (Top of the line horse trailers and barns, but no expensive cars), and everyone is wearing blue jeans and ordinary wrist watches, not a Rolex in sight.

The person who said that the wealthy do not contribute is wrong and it is also wrong that they are called snobby and closeted. They will speak to anyone who isn't trying to rip them off.

I don't think you have to limit yourself to Central Oregon. In Roseburg we have the Ford Family. They bought Louisiana Pacific's holdings when LP left Oregon. They own several wood products mills all over the USA.

I already mentioned the Sohn family, who donated the Van Gogh to the Portland Art Museum.

I personally know people in Douglas County with assets of over 8 digits. Nobody thinks of them as particularly wealthy, and they lead pretty middle class lifestyles. They are the working rich, who reinvest their spare cash and only spend what they need. They are indeed a different breed from the splashy east coast of socal wealthy. Instead of buying a yacht, they might own a nice river jet boat and go on cruises if the urge strikes them. They are friendly, and respect anyone who leads a productive existence or does interesting things.

The wealthy in Oregon do not wear it on their sleeves and choose not to stand out from others. Some, but not all, have very nice homes.

Why are we bringing up a thread that has been dormant for two years (and was started 5 years ago)? Heck, the OP hasn't even made a post in over five years.

I got a doublewide on a half acre. Indoor plumbing, color TV, even central heat and air.

I'm living large.

West side of Bend - there are pockets where all houses are $600K + up to well over $1 million. Sunriver, Sisters.
