The Cargill-MacMillans – $42.3B
The Cargill-MacMillan clan comes with fourteen billionaires. Whoa. Not only are they among the richest families in the United States, but they are also one of the richest in the whole world. The flagship family business was launched by William W. Cargill in 1865. They produced palm oil and grain as well as traded in transport, energy, and steel. It is also responsible for raising livestock, feed ingredients production, and feed production. It is the largest privately-owned company in America, which means they do not disclose financial information. Perhaps they are even richer than we already think!

The Powell-Jobses – $10.2B
We all know who Steve Jobs is. The iconic Apple CEO and co-founder will forever be remembered even though he passed away in 2011. He and Steve Wozniak launched Apple from the ground in 1976 with the goal of selling a personal computer. It was the Apple II, however, that took them to new heights. The company eventually grew to the mega-conglomerate we now know it to be. What a legend!
