Rich Like Them by Ryan D'Agostino isbn978-0-316-02146-3

This book is about interviews of a random sampling of people who live in the richest zip codes in the US believing that if they lived there they knew how to make money. The author knocked on doors without even knowing if the people would be home and asked to interview them if they answered the door. Quite a few people did answer the door and they gave very interesting interviews.
