The Most Popular Cars Of America's Richest Zip Codes

According to a recent study, just because you're rich doesn't necessarily mean that you flaunt it on the road.

The study, done by TrueCar.com, looked at the 10 best selling cars in the top 10 wealthiest zip codes, as determined by the IRS.

While some of the vehicles on the list are to be expected (BMWs and Benzes), many others may surprise you. In fact, half of the cars are non-luxury vehicles (and there's a hybrid!) and all but two cost less than $50,000.

Click through to see what America's rich and famous are driving today. It looks like these millionaires and billionaires aren't so different from the rest of us after all.
