Brighton and Hove has failed to make it on to a list of the 100 most affluent places in Britain.
The only areas in Sussex listed were Chichester, which came 29th, Mid Sussex, 40th, and Arundel in 93rd place.
Less than one in ten people living in Brighton earn more than £60,000 a year - the criteria used by Barclays Financial Planning to discover which parts of the country attracted the wealthiest individuals.
The bank's fourth annual survey measured how many people earning more than £60,000 had moved into an area in the past year.
Only 2.7 per cent of people living in Kemp Town earn more than £60,000.
In Hove, the figure is 3.8 per cent and in Brighton Pavilion it is four per cent.
Kensington and Chelsea came top nationally for the third year in a row with 16.6 per cent in 2004 compared with 12.5 per cent in 2003.
The Cities of London and Westminster moved up to second place with 14.2 per cent.
Outside London, the High Peak in Derbyshire and Monmouth, on the Welsh border, were accumulating wealthy residents faster than other parts of England and Wales.
