North America happily hosts its largest vertically-integrated seafood business, called Trident Seafoods, owned by the Bundrant group. Trident Seafoods yields and processes both new and iced fish produce, also managing private advertising too. The Bundrant family’s biggest profits flow from larger franchises such as Safeway, Long John Silver’s, Costco and more takeaway franchises. The business has fostered across the world, with projects in Germany, Japan and China.
The Asness Family – $3B
Led by Cliff Asness, who graduated from the University of Pennsylvania University of Chicago Booth School of Business, the Asness group is in the safe hands of a Ph.D. holding former assistant to the celebrated market expert Eugene Fama. Surprisingly, Asness’ thesis challenged his former mentor Fama’s theories on commercial profit formation. Cliff formed a personal finance supervision business, simultaneously assuming the role of activist, frequently protesting the exorbitant costs of hedge fund direction, and coining the term “crony capitalism”.
