QUESTION ASKED AND ANSWERED: ‘Why Is Everyone Investing in Texas?’

“Texas has been one of the biggest winners of the blue state exodus, and now it’s pushing to become a real financial powerhouse.”

“If Texas were its own country, its economy would be the eighth largest in the world. Bigger than Russia, bigger than Canada, bigger than Italy. That’s the state’s preliminary 2025 GDP, $2.9 trillion, measured against every other nation on Earth.”

“Goldman Sachs is building an 800,000 square foot campus in Dallas. When it opens, more than 5,000 people will work there. It’ll be the firm’s second largest office in the United States. Goldman isn’t moving its headquarters, but between 2015 and 2024, 314 companies did. Nearly half of them, 154, went to Dallas Fort Worth. By 2026, Texas had 57 Fortune 500 headquarters, more than any other state, with about $2.8 trillion in combined annual revenue.”

Profit is helluva motive.
