Jeff Bezos has made a name for himself as one of the most successful and famous CEOs of this day and age. This is why he and the rest of the family have gone on to become the richest elites on the planet. Of course, he is the founder and CEO of the streaming and e-commerce giant: Amazon. However, not many know of his humble beginnings. His mother got pregnant when she was only a teenager, while his father was just a small bike shop owner. Aside from this, they divorced when young Jeff was just four. After this, his mom got married to a Cuban immigrant named Mark Bezos. The future billionaire studied at Princeton and received numerous offers from tech companies after his graduation. He was a hedge fund manager on Wall Street during the ‘80s and only founded Amazon in 1994. Initially an online bookstore, it has expanded into selling just about whatever you can imagine!

The Rineys – $3.5B
The Rineys continue to command the Scottrade empire. Rodger O. Riney was the founder and originally developed it, though it was later sold to TD Ameritrade. Born in the ‘40s, his first experience with the stock market happened when his grandparents gifted him ten shares of stock. He then went on to matriculate at the University of Missouri. After the deregulation of the brokerage industry during the ‘70s, he decided to shoot his shot by launching Scottsdale Securities, which provided trades at low commission rates. A decade later, he opened the second location in St. Louis. In 1996, the company moved onto the internet and started an online trading platform of its own. Eventually renamed Scottrade, the company has a reputation for being a good company to be employed by.
