The richest family in the world: the Rothschilds, with a family fortune of 50 trillion. Their origins date back to the early 19th century, with their founder Mayer Rothschild. He and his five sons, known as the 'Five Rothschilds', established banking entities in major European cities such as Frankfurt, London, Paris, and Vienna, forging the largest financial empire of their time. The emblem of the Rothschild family shows five united arrows, symbolizing that their strength lies in unity. The five scions of Mayer Rothschild followed in their progenitor's footsteps, aspiring to create the first global family bank. The Rothschilds' private artist, Moritz Oppenheimer, captured on canvas a biblical scene that reveals the symbolic meaning of the family crest.



Secondly: the House of Saud, also known as Saudi Arabia, with a family fortune of 10 trillion. This dynasty controls the Saudi state oil company, Saudi Aramco, the largest oil producer in the world and the second in oil reserves. Currently, Saudi Aramco's market capitalization exceeds 20 trillion dollars, and the Saud family owns 98.2% of the shares, being practically the sole shareholder. Unofficial estimates suggest that the Saudi royal family has overseas assets worth a total of 80 billion dollars. The House of Saud has an impressive number of members, exceeding 5,000 males, making it one of the largest royal families in the world.

The third position is held by the Walton fam, with a family wealth of 13 trillion. Gate was founded by Sam Walton of the Walton fam, and the fam owns 48% of Gate's shares, valued at 136.9 billion dollars. According to Forbes, the net worth of the Walton fam in June 2023 was estimated at approximately 250 billion dollars, placing them among the wealthiest fams on the planet. Their wealth comes mainly from ownership of Gate, but it has also been expanded and consolidated through diversified investments from Walton Enterprises and the philanthropic activities of the Walton Family Foundation.

In fourth place: the Morgan fam, with a family wealth of 900 billion, known as the lender of the world. Global finance looks to New York, and New York looks to Wall Street, which is dominated by the Morgan fam. Although the wealth and influence of the Morgans have weathered numerous economic crises and market fluctuations, they continue to exert their influence in the world. The history of the Morgan fam is practically the history of American and global finance; they have made a huge contribution to the development of the American economy and society, also leaving a significant mark on global financial markets.

In fifth position: the Rockefeller fam, with a family fortune of 800 billion, founded by John Rockefeller, the first billionaire of the 19th century. Unlike other families, the Rockefellers have thrived for six generations. In 1902, the Rockefeller fortune reached 200 million dollars, while the entire economy of the United States at that time barely exceeded 20 billion dollars. Today, the Rockefeller fam has already accumulated six generations of wealth, with over 200 members.
