With a nearly 2 trillion dollars GDP, ranking itself in the 10 largest economies in the world, California is definitely "the golden state" and basically carry the whole country on its shoulders, but when and why did it become so rich?

Bc it's the most populated state...?

the mexicans
the gold
hollywood?
silicon valley?
lots of options

It's full of celebrities who buy expensive things?

THE GOLD RUSH

Hollywood
Tourism
Vineyards
Gold Rush

etc.

I've been here for 20+ years and I'm still tryna figure out my damn self. San Francisco is overrated. Los Angeles is overrated. Maybe it's just because I've been here tha majority of my life...IDK

The rich people from Asia really love to move to CA.
I don't why because it's more close to their home countries?

Calabasas is flawless. I always feel poor when I visit my friend there. They have a mcdonalds that doesn't have a dollar menu.

LA is definitely my dream city, it's full of hot and rich gringos

Ding ding!

Plus, we slay.

Silicon Valley and Hollywood, I assume.

.

Valley food production?
Hollywood?
Silicon Valley?
It's Universities?
It's Entertainmemt Parks and Tourism?

Aren't they in debt?

Because it has the highest population

California is the best state in the US.

That's because CA pays more federal taxes than it receives from the union, CA and the northeast both sustain the whole country.
