The Ziff Family – $14.4B
Despite having finalized their hedge funds in American and London a while back, Wall Street is still very much influenced by Ziff Brother Investments. Although the Ziff brothers Robert and Dirk have chosen to pursue separate enterprises, they are united by their family’s decadent wealth which spans close to one hundred years. This ancestral wealth flourished from the publishing prominence of William Ziff Sr., which was only further developed by his son William Jr. Today the magazine kingdom is best known for PC Magazine and Car and Driver.
