The town of 7,000 was recently named the most expensive zip code in the country in Forbes' annual list.

According to Forbes' analysis, the median listing price in Atherton is a whopping $9.03 million.

Tech billionaires Paul Allen, Eric Schmidt, and Meg Whitman all currently own homes here. Sheryl Sandberg also lived in Atherton before she moved into her new waterfall-equipped home in nearby Menlo Park last year.
