The Bezos Family – $137B
One of today’s most famous CEOs, Jeff Bezos, along with his family, has rose to the top and become one of the richest elites in the world. Bezos is the founder and CEO of streaming and e-commerce giant Amazon, but he was actually born into humble beginnings. When he was born, his mother was still a teenager and his father had a small bike shop. When he was four, his parents divorced and his mother then married an immigrant from Cuba named Mark Bezos. Jeff Bezos was a hedge fund manager on Wall Street in the 1980’s and it was only in 1994 when he founded Amazon, which was originally a simple online bookstore.

The Riney Family – $3.5B
Rodger O. Riney founded and originally developed the company Scottrade (which TD Ameritrade later bought). Born in the 1940’s, Riney first encountered the stock market when he received ten shares of stock from his grandparents. In the 1970’s, the deregulation of the brokerage industry happened and Riney made a move to start Scottsdale Securities, which provided trades with lower commission rates. A decade later, he opened one more branch in St. Louis and in 1996, the company started its very own online trading platform.
