[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a lot of big money sloshing around Chicago, so it’s not like your kid can’t make a great living there. But it’s very provincial. And feels isolated if you’re used to living on a coast. Plus the weather is grey and cold half the year.[/quote]  [b]My kids are at one of the well known private schools and there are multiple billionaire families. [/b] This is definitely true.  I will also say that we have met very few people that are actually from Chicago or the suburbs. We don't hear people talking poorly about other cities or trying to defend Chicago in any sort of way. Lots of international families and a lot of New Yorkers. And the previous point of feeling isolated, definitely does not feel that way.  We can hop on a plane the same way any other major city does.  We don't have interest in taking road trips so can't speak to that. Having the massive lake and river really does make a difference, though.  Might not be an ocean but it is gorgeous and accessible waterfront.  No complaints here. [/quote]

Having known my share of billionaires in Chicago I'll guess Francis W Parker?
