On a recent trip to Miami, I got access to the richest ZIP code in the country: Fisher Island , a 216-acre members-only island where the average income is $2.2 million.
To become a member of the elite Fisher Island Club , you must pay a one-time $250,000 equity contribution and $22,256 in annual dues. And that's after residents have bought one of the condos on the island, which cost an average of $3.2 million. About 700 families live on Fisher Island in almost 30 luxury condominium buildings.
Members of the Fisher Island Club get access to private beaches with sand imported from the Bahamas, a beach club, eight restaurants, a golf course, two deep-water marinas, a spa, 18 tennis courts, and more.
I got a tour of a $15.9 million condo designed by Bottega Veneta on the island that comes with a 900-square-foot terrace with Miami skyline views. Dora Puig, the top-ranked real estate broker in Miami-Dade County by sales volume, has the listing.
Here's what it looks like inside a luxury condo in the richest ZIP code in America.
