This list gets really interesting when you condense the familial wealth. At a glance (based solely on surnames) there are fur families on this list. When we condense these to a single line, the first three spots are held by the Walton, Koch, and Mars families, with the two Albrecht brothers at #10.
That the Waltons hold just barely less then all five members of the Koch and Mars families is incredible.
