The Jolie Family – $160M
It isn’t difficult to see why Angelina Jolie is wealthy – she’s a superstar and her family’s lineage has roots to a massive fortune. She may be the daughter of award-winning actor Jon Voight, but Jolie has earned her spot in Hollywood being an acclaimed performer. For anyone who questions her talent, just rewatch her award-winning performance in the film Girl, Interrupted since it definitely holds up. Jolie has since made the transition to producing and directing her own films, which gives her a bigger portion of the box office on top of her really large salaries and numerous sponsorship deals.

The Hearst Family – $24.5B
The wealth of the Hearst family traces back to their patriarch, William Randolph Hearst, a publishing kingpin whose father was a wealthy San Francisco miner. At age 24, Hearst purchased The San Francisco Examiner using his father’s money, and soon expanded the business into a massive TV, radio, and newspaper empire. His son William II became a Pulitzer-winning journalist and now controls their media empire, the Hearst Corporation. The deep roots and influence of their family throughout American wealth, publishing and PR are unmatched.
