The Busch Family – $13.4 Billion

As if anyone did not know, the Busch family fortune’s roots in their titular beer company. The company first opened back to 1876, after Adolphus Busch created what we all know today as Budweiser. For many years, the company has remained in the family, generation after generations. Then, in 2008,  the company was fully bought out from the Buschs for $52 billion.

Thankfully for beer fans, the Busch family launched a new company less than a year later, William K Busch Brewing. As of today, they continue to be one of the richest families in America with a fortune estimated at $13.4 billion. Roughly 30 members of the family split the massive fortune.
