For Sam Walton, low prices meant vast riches. By 1985, Walton was America's richest
man. At the time of his death in 1992 he and his family were worth at least $23 billion,
proceeds of a life spent selling everything he could fit under the roofs of his Wal-Mart
(nyse: WMT) storesfrom tires to tortelliniat prices neighborhood stores could not
match.
Today, Walton's heirstwo sons, a daughter, a daughter-in-law and two niecesare
worth at least US$90 billion, making them the richest family in America.

The Waltons are so rich that they have more than double the dollars of the second
richest family in the U.S., the Koch clan, who command a fortune of at least US$40
billion.

Interview with: Evolving Gold Corp.

The four Koch brothers are the sons of Fred C. Koch, who invented a method of
converting heavy oil into gasoline. Each son inherited a stake in Koch Industries when
Fred died in 1967.

Charles and David bought out William and Frederick for US$1.1 billion in 1983. William
and other family members soon sued for more, sparking a legendary fraternal feud.
The fight was finally settled in 2001.
Today Koch Industries is America's second-largest private company by sales, with
products ranging from fabrics to fertilizer. Charles and David each own 42% of Koch
Industries and are vastly richer than their brothers.
William runs energy conglomerate Oxbow Corporation, which last year brought in
US$3.7 billion in sales. Frederick is said to be living in Europe.
Ranking third: the Mars family, represented by siblings John, Jacqueline and Forrest Jr.
Their great-grandmother, Alva Mars, amused her Polio-stricken son Frank (d. 1934)
with lessons in chocolate making during the 1880s.
In 1911, Frank launched what would become Mars Inc.today the world's largest
confectionery company with US$30 billion in salesout of his kitchen in Tacoma,
Wash. Frank's son, Forrest, introduced M&Ms in 1941, and popularized malt-flavored
nougat, the chewy-sweet staple that is the foundation of candy classics Milky Way,
Snickers and 3 Musketeers.
The three siblings inherited the company when Forrest Sr. died in 1999.
In compiling the list of America's Richest Families, Forbes scoured biographies,
financial filings and our extensive database of well-heeled individuals past and present.
The list represents an eclectic mix of families who play an active role in the companies
their relatives built, living entrepreneurs who have showered their families with the

Early attempts to chronicle inherited money reveal the difficulty of preserving wealth
over generations. In 1939, financial journalist Ferdinand Lundberg published an expose
of inherited wealth using tax returns released by Congress under the Revenue Act of
1924. Of the 60 families he identified, only four qualify for our list.
The 25 families on our list are worth a combined US$418 billion. Given the stance of
secrecy often adopted by American aristocracy, all of the net worth figures should be
considered "at least" estimates.
Of the 25 families we've identified, 44% owe their fortunes to companies founded in the
19th century. Another 36% trace their wealth to businesses started in the first half of
the 20th century. Three companiesStryker Corp. (nyse: SYK), Estee Lauder and
Fidelity Management and Researchwere founded in 1946.
One of the longest-running fortunes in American history belongs to the du Pont family,
who rank eighth with a fortune of at least US$15 billion. The du Ponts trace their
ancestry to Pierre Samuel du Pont de Nemours (d. 1817), a French Physiocrat, who
survived the Revolutionary Terror by immigrating to America in 1800.
Pierre's son, Eleuthere Irenee du Pont, a chemist, built a gunpowder mill in Wilmington,
Del., in 1802. Thus began E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Company, the US$32 billion
(market cap) chemicals and manufacturing firm that has introduced such innovations as
nylon and Teflon.
In 1965, Time Magazine reported there were 1,600 du Ponts living in the U.S. That
number is surely higher today.
Many family fortunes have grown faster than inflation over time. Example: The
descendants of John T. Dorrance, the chemical engineer who invented a canning
process for condensed soup that used half as much water, shaving production costs by
a third.
Dorrance died in 1929 with an estimated fortune of US$150 million, or $1.9 billion in
today's dollars. After 80 years of growth in the value of Campbell Soup (nyse: CPB)
shares and decades of hefty dividends, his heirs enjoy a combined net worth of
US$11.5 billion, implying an annualized return on inheritance of 5.6%2.3% above
inflation.
Several iconic names in American capitalism are absent from our rankings. Among
them: the Fords (deflated stock), the Carnegies (philanthropy) and the Kennedys (likely
just don't have enough dough).
Though Ford Motor (nyse: F) was the only Big Three automaker that did not seek
direct government aid last fall as the economy crumbled, the company's stock has
fallen 40% in five years.
The Ford family, which, according to public filings owns 3% of the company's shares
but commands 40% of the voting rights, would need to see their stake appreciate 500%
in order to qualify for the list. (They would not have had the US$5 billion minimum
required to make the list in the heady economic times of 2007).
Philanthropic zeal is what keeps the Carnegie family off the list. After making his
fortune in steel, Andrew Carnegie poured his vast wealth into educational institutions,
libraries and research.
Many of the organizations he created still exist, including the Carnegie Foundation for
the Advancement of Teaching, Carnegie Corporation of New York, Carnegie Institution
for Science and Carnegie Institute of Technology (now Carnegie Mellon University).
After his death in 1919, Carnegie reportedly left his wife his property and personal
belongings, but not a large sum of money, "having years ago made provision for my
wife beyond her desires." He didn't leave his daughter anything. He was said to have
given away US$350 millionUS$4.4 billion in 2009 dollarsbefore his death.

newspaper chain; sons Si and Donald continue to reign
over publishing empire, though core areas of media
business are faltering badly. Conde Nast magazine division
has cut staff and closed several magazines in the last year,
including Portfolio and Gourmet. One-third stake in
Discovery Communications, which includes Discovery
Channel and Animal Planet, has fared much better; shares
up more than 100% in last year. Si's art collection includes

Rockefeller
$7 billion
Standard Oil
Descendants of iconic capitalist John D. Rockefeller, who
turned $4,000 investment in oil refining into Standard Oil,
energy giant that fueled the American industrial revolution.
Company carved up in landmark antitrust case 1911.
Fortune funneled into philanthropy (Rockefeller University),
real estate (Rockefeller Center), politics (Nelson
Rockefeller became 41st vice president of the U.S.). Only
living grandson David collects art. Family fortune hard to
pinpoint because riches are shared by 150-plus heirs.

Phipps
$5 billion
The Carnegie Company
Henry Phipps grew up poor in Pittsburgh. Parlayed small
stake in cash-starved iron works company into lucrative
partnership with steel magnate Andrew Carnegie. Opened
family investment vehicle Bessemer Trust in 1907 to
manage proceeds from sale of Carnegie Steel. Diverted
ownership to children in 1911: "It is my desire that neither
the stock nor the bonds of the Company shall pass out of
my family." Died in 1930. Value of his estate: perhaps $600
million. Today Bessemer oversees $50 billion in assets;
throws off $30 million to $50 million a year in dividends.
