The Sobrato Family – $6.6B
Billionaire John A. Sobrato owns one of the country’s largest real estate firms and he has his mother to largely thank for that. His mother took her inheritance and actually pioneered the industry of real estate. By the time Sobrato was old enough, he started his own real estate company, the Sobrato Organization, which owns land, residential plots and office space from coast to coast. His three children used their incredible wealth for their own investments and achieved massive success, such as his son who is now part owner of the NFL team San Francisco 49ers.

The Love Family – $7B
If you’ve done a road trip across America, you probably stopped at many Love’s (also known as Love’s Travel Stops & Country Store) along the way since it is one of the country’s largest chain of gas and convenience stores. Husband and wife Tom and Judy Love formed the company, which was originally a small service station which they converted themselves. Within ten years, they expanded this throughout America and they now operate in 41 out of 50 states. Love’s has been buying competitors and signing endorsement deals a lot, with the most recent one being a deal to place logos of the NBA team Oklahoma City Thunder in select stores.
