The LeFrak Family – $6B

Real estate empire LeFrak was started by the parents of Richard LeFrak, the current CEO, and the company gets credit for practically reconstructing Jersey City. LeFrak has expanded across America in the last three decades, with major projects in Beverly Hills and South Beach, among many others. LeFrak’s two sons, Harrison and James, have vice-chairman positions, and the company remains privately owned, keeping the sky-high earnings of the firm mostly in this powerful family’s pockets.

The Davis Family – $5.9B

It may not be as collectible or splashy as Nike, but New Balance continues to be one of the country’s favorite sports shoes and has been in the business for over a century. A few decades later, American billionaire Jim Davis now runs New Balance, with his leadership being undeniably successful and the sales of New Balance having never been higher. However, Davis and New Balance received criticisms not too long ago for donating money to super right wing political causes, and the widespread revolt continues to cut back the company’s revenues.
