American Summer at Citywealth: Oil, money and migration – how Texas wealth is changing |
|
|
|
Texas has been home to substantial private wealth for generations, much of it built on oil and gas. That remains an important part of the state’s economy and its family fortunes. But advisers say the picture is becoming broader.
Houston remains closely associated with energy, while Dallas has developed as a financial and corporate centre and Austin has become known for technology. Wealthy individuals, businesses and families are also continuing to move to Texas from elsewhere in the US as mentioned in the Citywealth California article last week. Read more → |

The Texas billionaires with deep ties to New York |
|
|
| As we have found in New York, Chicago and California, America’s billionaires are rarely tied to a single place.

Citywealth Leaders List Released:Top 50 Texas Wealth Advisors and Managers 2026 |
|
|
| Texas is attracting wealthy families, entrepreneurs and companies, drawn by its lack of state income tax, relatively low living costs and strong business environment. Oil and gas remain important sources of wealth, particularly in Houston, but the state’s economy has become much more diverse. Private equity, property, technology, healthcare, aerospace, manufacturing and energy infrastructure now contribute to a broader wealth market. Read more → |

Citywealth Quick Insight Series on Family Offices Trends:Roland Jones, Axebridge Group, Barbados |
|
|
| The biggest change is the reason families come. Two or three years ago the conversation often began with the tax rate. It no longer does. The move to a standard corporation tax rate in 2024 closed that chapter, and the value now rests on the treaty network, regulatory quality, and professional depth. Families arrive for a governance and treaty platform, not a number. Read more → |
