As part of its "Almanac of American Wealth," Fortune Magazine created an interactive website that illustrates the share of the nation's millionaires living in each state.

California leads the country with over 660,000 -- almost double the next state in line, New York.

In a related feature, the magazine profiles the typical $5 million dollar home in the top 10 states for millionaires.
