On a recent trip to Miami, I got access to the richest ZIP code in the country: Fisher Island, a 216-acre members-only island where the average income is $2.2 million.

To become a member of the elite Fisher Island Club, you must pay a one-time $250,000 equity contribution and $22,256 in annual dues. And that's after residents have bought one of the condos on the island, which cost an average of $3.2 million. About 700 families live on Fisher Island in almost 30 luxury condominium buildings.

Members of the Fisher Island Club get access to private beaches with sand imported from the Bahamas, a beach club, eight restaurants, a golf course, two deep-water marinas, a spa, 18 tennis courts, and more.

I got a tour of a $15.9 million condo designed by Bottega Veneta on the island that comes with a 900-square-foot terrace with Miami skyline views. Dora Puig, the top-ranked real estate broker in Miami-Dade County by sales volume, has the listing.

After my tour of the condo and Fisher Island in general, my impression was that the main selling point of the residence is its exclusive location on a members-only island for millionaires.
