The Hastings Family – $2.2B
Reed Hastings is the most well-known member of the Hastings family, and for good reason – he founded Netflix. The software company Adaptive was where he had his first tech job and he went on to create a tool that can remove bugs from software. Hastings then founded Pure Software and Rational Software later bought out before it lost a lot of value. He founded Netflix, which was a movie-rental site at first and achieved success in the late 1990s. However, it only became the huge giant that it now is relatively recently due to the rising popularity of Internet TV.
