The Powell-Jobs Family – $10.2B
Despite passing in 2011, Steve Jobs retains eternal influence and familial wealth as the pioneering ex-Apple CEO. The computer genius wed Lauren Powell in 1991. Alongside Steve Wozniak, Jobs established Apple during the mid-70s, aimed at developing and retailing a groundbreaking PC. While the Apple I was reasonably fruitful, the Apple II unleashed Apple’s true potential and was the springboard for their true prominence. Their business then skyrocketed into a titan multinational cooperation, with Jobs sharing his wealth and pride with his wife Lauren Powell.

The Du Pont Family – $14.3B
The Du Pont family can trace their status among the wealthiest families in America back to the middle of the 1800s, when they produced gunpowder, a resource that would catapult their wealth during the First and Second World Wars. In the beginning of the 1900s, the family evolved towards the chemical and automotive industries. The public is sometimes given access to their sizeable properties, which feature several of the United States’ most opulent parks, gardens, and museums. Currently, the family is reinforced with close to four-thousand members, all who reap the benefits of this gigantic wealth.
