The Busch Family – $13.5 Billion
Is there anything more essential to the American experience than quality light beer? You can thank the Busch family for their production of Busch and its associated products. The family almost lost their company to prohibition but they stayed afloat by selling legal products: ice cream and soda. Once prohibition was repealed by Franklin D. Roosevelt, the Busch family sent the then President 24 crates of their product.

The Dorrance Family – $13.6 Billion.
Take a walk down your grocery store and you’ll see some of the Dorrance family trademark on the shelves. The Dorrance Family got its wealth thanks to John T. Dorrance who developed the Campbell Soup Company. He developed the formula for the soup back in 1897 and by 1914 he was president of the entire company.
