In Park City, the median single-family home price is $3.8M. But it wasn't always this way. It used to be a mining town and then a quiet ski town. But why did it change? Were the Olympics really that transformative? Come with us to find out.

Inside LA's Richest Neighborhoods (Bel Air & Beverly Hills)

Head to https://drinkag1.com/rocanews to get a free Morning Person Hat and free AG1 Flavor Sampler in your Welcome Kit with your first AG1 subscription (an $82 value!). Two of the richest zip codes in the country happen to be just miles apart in Los Angeles County. The first is Bel Air, which is part of the City of Los Angeles, and the second is Beverly Hills, which is its own city. While both are engrained in pop culture, they are changing rapidly, and we wanted to see what they're like today. We explored both Bel Air and Beverly Hills, interviewing locals and getting an inside look with luxury YouTuber Enes Yilmazer. He revealed to us some of the neighborhoods' secrets, including the rise of Qatari money and why so many of the houses are actually empty. Thank you NuHouse Media for the drone footage we used in this episode.

We went to Madison, Mississippi — the richest city in America's poorest state. We wanted to learn what separates life in Madison from life 15 miles south in Jackson. What we found was a unique city built on good governance, strict aesthetics, and a mayor who's been in office since 1981.

Head to https://betterhelp.com/rocanews to get 10% off your first month with our sponsor, BetterHelp. Therapy can be a meaningful space to reflect, grow, and create positive change in your life.
