The Gores Family – $4B
The Gores family left the Israeli city Nazareth in order to jump straight into the acquisition market, with Tom Gores establishing the leading family business known as Platinum Equity, the globally present headquarters situated in Beverly Hills. Platinum Equity’s profession honed in on leveraged takeover investments, very quickly earning around a billion dollars in profit through targeted acquisitions. Currently, Platinum Equity director Tom Gores makes the most out of his success through purchasing sports teams like the NBA Detroit Pistons.

The Samueli Family – $3.8B
Henri Samueli maximized his company, called Broadcom Corporation, to create global industry-leading and groundbreaking semiconductors and electronics parts. Originally a professor at UCLA, his interests shifted from academia to business, cofounding one himself which was originally funded at almost $10,000 – an amount which would lead to exponential profiting in no time at all. Now holding a few billion dollars, Samueli has had the buying power to not only own the Anaheim Ducks of the NHL but has also moved them to San Diego. His various projects continue to expand his kingdom yearly.
