Are you familiar with the Mars Bar line of candy? You are? Good, well the Mars Family is as close to the real life Willy Wonka name as you can get. Frank Mars created the company, Mars Inc, and has since then grown it into one of the largest private companies in the United States. Most noteworthy is that Mars Inc has no public shares and is owned completely by the family. Mars also has their hand in dog food as they also own the Pedigree line.
