Millions of Americans are finding new wealth through the stock market. But how has San Diego profited from the boom? Has San Diego become a better place to live because of this new economy? Reporter Scott Horsley has the answers.

The Full Focus team got a glimpse of the lifestyles of the rich in San Diego while reporting May's Full Focus documentary, "The New Gold Rush." They toured yachts, admired mansions and chatted with twenty-somethings who will never have to work again.

Even though millions of dollars separated the lifestyles of the Full Focus team members and the interviewees, talking to them was no problem. It turned out that millionaires can be pretty nice.
