You don’t have to live in a desert to live a life of luxury.

A few steps away from a sea of green lawns and palm trees, you’ll find the epicenter of the American dream: Los Angeles.

But it’s not all sunny skies and blue-collar workers.

It’s also home to some of the country’s most prominent families.

The most influential American families in the world have come together in the city’s Westwood neighborhood, according to the Los Angeles Times.

The Westwood enclave includes some of Hollywood’s most affluent families.

Its affluent neighbors include the Walt Disney Co., Paramount Pictures, Fox, 20th Century Fox and Walt Disney Imagineering.

Many of these families also live in the exclusive Beverly Hills enclave, where the most famous Beverly Hills neighborhood has been named “The World’s Most Beautiful Place” by Vanity Fair.

Here are the top 10 wealthiest families in America.
