The Mars Family – $89.7B
Nearly a hundred years ago, Franklin Clarence Mars created something which changed America: the chocolate bar Milky Way. The success of Milky Way, which was followed by M&M’s, Twix, Snickers, Big Red gum and Skittles candies, built the massive fortune of the Mars family. Originally, the business was called The Mars Candy Factory, which sold wholesale candy at the time, but this became unsustainable. Mars started again from scratch and today, the company Mars Incorporated not only produces candy but also drinks, pet care products, life science, and symbioscience.
