The Hunts – $13.7B
The Hunt family is well-known among business people as well as among television folks as well. H.L. Hunt, the patriarch, served as the inspiration for the character called J.R. Ewing on the classic show Dallas. He was a wildcatter who made it big in the oil business. He was the founder of an American oil company, though it since expanded to cover different industries as well. His son supervises the oil company ventures of the Hunt empire. Meanwhile, another son owns a different part of the oil and gas part. On the other hand, his daughter launched Rosewood Hotels & Resorts, though she ended up selling it after several years. Lamar, the remaining heir, is the person who coined the name of the Super Bowl and co-founded the American Football League as well as Major League Soccer. What a cool family.
