Having been there myself, I would imagine most of the inhabitants are very rich, as shown by the exclusive shops and expensive cars and high-class appartments. Anyone who works in shops or restaurants probably commutes from neighbouring towns in France as they couldn't afford to live there themselves. It's a funny "country" : a city state with very limited diplomatic representation abroad. I believe there's some sort of rule which says that if the Monegasque royal family can't produce a male heir, the place reverts to French control. It's a tax haven and you'll find lots of the very rich of this world living there to avoid paying their taxes in whatever country they're originally from. If you go there, you may find that it feels slightly "surreal" : a place where people go who have something to hide.
