The Pitt Family – $300M
After Brad Pitt transitioned to Los Angeles to become a movie star, none of his family members could have predicted just how extraordinarily successful he would become throughout the 90s and onwards. Beginning as an actor featuring in endlessly successful movies like Troy, Ocean’s Eleven and Seven Years in Tibet, Pitt would eventually work as a producer, such as on 12 Years a Slave (in which he also acted), which won an Oscar. He would also wield his monumental riches to acquire vineyards and real estate, executing a personal olive oil and wine brand. Along with former wife Angelina Jolie, the pair share guardianship of half a dozen children, made up of twins and four adopted minors.

The Cargill-MacMillan Family – $42.3B
Few families in the world possess more billionaires than the Cargill-MacMillan group: with an estimated 14, making them one of the wealthiest dynasties on earth today. Manufacturing grain and palm oil, Cargill also has stakes in steel, transport and energy. Moreover, they have major stocks in livestock rearing and feeding. The Cargill corporation also happens to be the biggest privately-owned business in America, 90% of holdings being in their possession. Despite these estimates, the private ownership of Cargill prohibits anyone from truly knowing their actual worth.
