The West Family – $1.5B
The rapper Kanye West has sold more records than nearly all other musicians in history, but his unstable business ventures – especially his apparel company, Yeezy, and his streaming label, Tidal – often affects his finances. West invested a lot of his own money into starting the unique brand of clothing that is called Yeezy. As of last year, it was valued at more than $1 billion, which is almost the same estimate that Kim Kardashian, West’s wife, says of her husband’s net worth. That figure together with West’s franchise sales and other investments put him at $1.5 billion – that is, until the next outburst.

The S.C. Johnson Family – $28.2B
The S.C. Johnson family (not related to the other Johnsons on this list) owns S.C. Johnson, which is a massive manufacturer of household goods. S.C. Johnson originally started the business back in 1886 and only dealt in parquet flooring at the time. After the company developed a successful floor wax, it got to a different level of success, and today, it produces a wide range of cleaning products including Glade and Pledge, and America’s favorite sealable baggies, Ziploc. When Herbert Johnson passed away, he didn’t leave a will, which resulted in a fierce legal battle among the remaining family members.
