Waltons no longer to be the richest family in the world
The American Walton dynasty has long been considered the richest family in the world. However, the latest Bloomberg ranking has a new leader: the Al Nahyans family from the United Arab Emirates. The Al Nahyans dynasty controls the emirate of Abu Dhabi. According to Bloomberg estimates, their wealth is currently worth $305 billion.
The Walton family, which controls the well-known Walmart retail chain, has a fortune of around $260 billion. This is a significant change, as the Walton family has long held the top spot in this ranking.
The owners of the famous French fashion house Hermes also have a fortune that exceeds $150 billion. The Mars family, which controls the food empire that produces Mars, Milky Way, and Snickers bars, is in second place with a fortune of around $140 billion.
