The 4 richest families on the planet (the first earns $ 4 million per hour)

$ 70,000 per minute, 4 million hour and 100 million each day. At this rate, the fortune of the Walton family, owner of the American supergiant Walmart Inc., which tops the list of the richest dynasties on the planet published this Saturday by Bloomberg, has increased over the past year. For comparison, a new employee in their stores earns about $ 11 an hour.

According to the "ranking", the 25 richest dynasties in the world monopolize a total fortune of 1.4 billion dollars, which represents a growth of 24% over last year. In the United States, Bloomberg estimates that 0.1% of the richest countries control more wealth than before.

These are the five families who lead the "ranking".

The walton

Company: Walmart

Fortuna: $ 190.5 billion

Walmart is the world's largest retailer in terms of revenue. The Walton family's fortune has grown by $ 39 billion since it came to the top of June 2018's best-ever list, now standing at nearly $ 191 billion.

March

Company: Mars

Fortune: $ 126,500 million

The dynasty is mainly known for the M & M, Milky Way and Mars sweets, although pet care products account for about half of the company's revenues. In the past year, its wealth has increased by $ 37,000 million.

The koch

Company: Koch Industries

Fortuna: $ 124.5 billion

Koch Industries, owned by Charles and David Koch, is a conglomerate with annual sales of approximately $ 110 billion. Since last year, his fortune has increased by $ 26,000 million.

Al Saud

Saudi royal family

Fortune: $ 100,000 million

The estimate of the net worth of the Saudi monarchy – which is new to this year's list – is based on the accumulated payments that would have been received by members of the royal family over the last 50 years of Royal Diwan, the king's executive office. Bloomberg says the total wealth controlled by its environment of 15,000 members is probably much larger.

Wertheimer

Company: Chanel

Fortuna: $ 57.6 billion

Brothers Alain and Gérard Wertheimer are owners of the famous fashion house Chanel, which has achieved a turnover of 11 billion dollars in 2018.
