The Kordestani Family – $1.4B
Proving that anyone can make it big in America, the formerly Iranian Omid Kordestani developed one of the most worthwhile breakthroughs in technological progress with his engineering brains, which culminated in commercial selling and growing within Netscape. Garnering near-total international cyber recognition, he was quickly appointed as Google’s Chief Business Officer. Documented as the man behind Google’s global presence, Omid would later be assigned to Executive Chairman of Twitter in 2015. He now progresses with Twitter to this day, along with major involvement with international tech firms, resulting in his magnificent earnings and familial prosperity.
The Parasol Family – $1B
Online gaming is highly profitable, proven by Parasol’s titan fortunes made from hugely rewarding gaming services like PartyPoker and PartyGaming. Ruth Parasol soon left her engineering life behind to commence her personal online gaming platform towards the end of the 90s. Initially running out of the Caribbean, the speedy establishment of the gaming giant led to its reincarnation as PartyPoker.com, quickly dishing out a profit of half a billion dollars yearly. Not everything went swimmingly for the Parasols, however, as a federal investigation curbed their profitability, coupled with Ruth splitting from her then husband.
