The Getty Center has the highest assessed value of any property in Los Angeles County. LA Observed file photo.
The Los Angeles Business Journal compiles weekly lists into an annual ranking of just about everything from biggest architecture firm (and developer, lobbyist etc) to the wealthiest people who call Los Angeles County home. I finally got around to perusing the 2014 lists annual and cherry picked some data points I found interesting. The lists carry the usual caveats, including that the rankings were based on the latest info available at the time, so the data may be more than a year old. The rankings are for Los Angeles County.
