If that is what it takes to be number one, I do not even want to know where I would be on that list.
I have not been to Middleton in a while but I thought it was more of a bedroom community. Even if this represents dual income you are talking 165k/year. What do someone do to make that type of jing??????????

Is anyone really worth that much? Do they add that much in value to anything?

I know Kenosha made the list one time and I thought Osh Kosh or somewhere around there did also. Madison made the list before too.

But nothing against Middleton but I never heard of it before and it sounds expensive to live there.

Makes you wonder how they really figure these things out.

17,389 people to many!!!!! I lived my whole life in a big city and now that I'm living in the country I will never go back to a city!!!! Wichita, Kansas is nothing but a simmering cess pool of criminal and gang activity. I agree with j10asen about the jing 8O, what could anyone do to be worth that much???? Jimi

Middleton is next to Madison. It didn't used to have big expensive homes, but when Madison limited building to the west and Middleton allowed it, businesses and houses quickly overtook the farm fields.

I have an event tomorrow after work in Middleton - at the Bier Garten of Capital Brewery.
