A look at the richest families in America.

Forbes

The Waltons remain the richest. The descendants of Walmart founders Sam Walton and Bud Walton own about half of the retailing giant’s stock, which generates more than $700 million in dividend income for the family every year. They’re followed by the Kochs, who own 84% of Koch Industries, which does $115 billion in revenues from businesses that include pipelines, chemicals, Dixie cups and Stainmaster carpet.

Those who have made their fortunes in the modern era, amassing enormous wealth in five decades or less include the Hughes family, who control self-storage giant Public Storage; the Cathys, owners of Chick-fil-A; and the Chaos, of Westlake Chemical, one of the country's largest producers of low-density polyethylene, used for milk cartons and other food packaging.
