The Huizengas – $2.6B

The Huizenga clan is of Dutch descent, though the family moved to the States during the mid 1890s. Different ventures in hotels and waste management gave them the opportunity to establish themselves in their new home country. However, Wayne Huizenga was the one who struck gold when he acquired Blockbuster Video in 1987. After several years, it turned them into a very wealthy family. The fortune grew even more when he founded AutoNation. He now owns the Florida Panthers and Florida Marlins. He died in 2018, but the family wealth is still going strong.
