FYI-the 28 Million dollar home has a McLean address but is physically in Arlington County, not McLean... So point: Arlington |

Sorry Arlington didn't make the list In Virginia, four billionaires did make the cut — including three in Northern Virginia: one who lives in McLean, one formerly from McLean who now lives in The Plains (but whose company is headquartered in McLean), and one from Vienna.

Forbes says Mars has personal wealth of $22.2 billion — five times the net worth of Ted Lerner, the second-richest local resident. The top spot on the Forbes 400 list, for the 21st consecutive year, belongs to Bill Gates, with personal wealth of $81.2 billion. In second place was Warren Buffett, with $67.8 billion.

Don't care but if you read carefully, McLean can only claim one...and Ms. Mars lives in Rosslyn during the week. Noticed you cut off the rest of the list too. |

This. There is a house on my block of McLean-on the market for 1.9 now for 345 days. That 3.6 Million Dollar townhouse in N Arlington by the Country Club has been vacant for nearly half a year as well. But new builds along Williamsburg for 1.6 are selling fast. And they are ugly. |

All 56 N. Arlington/McLean homes must have sold to DCUM moms ? |

McLean is more 50/50 but N Arlington, Bethesda, Chevy Chase are super Democratic leaning... |
