The Newhouse Family – $18.5B

Sam Newhouse established Advance Publications before passing in 1979, leaving his fortunes to Si and Donald, his sons. They would then go on to build a breakthrough platform within global media, with Advance Publications becoming one of the largest magazine franchises on earth. You may have heard of Conde Nast Publications, responsible for Vogue, The New Yorker and Vanity fair – all owned by Advance Publications. Amazingly, their ambition doesn’t stop there, with investments in the Reddit information sharing platform, along with a major stake in Discovery Communications.

The Mars Family – $89.7B

Around a century ago, one of the most iconic candy bars was created by Franklin Clarence Mars: the Milky Way chocolate bar. The accomplishment of this chocolate bar was fused with Skittles, Snickers, M&M’s and Big Red gum, leading to the titan riches held by the Mars group. A revolution in the company successfully consolidated its modern place in today’s world as a provider of symbioscience, life science, and pet care products, beyond candy.
