The Sobratos = $6.6B
John A. Sobrato might be the owner of a big real estate firm, but the credit should go to his mother. After all, she was the person who spent her inheritance pioneering the real estate industry. When her son turned the right age, he ended up launching a real estate business of his own. The result is the company we now know as the Sobrato Organization, which owns office space, residential properties, and land all over the country. His three kids have since used the family wealth the spearhead successful investments of their own. For example, his son is now a part-owner of the San Francisco 49ers.

The Loves – $7B
Anyone who has ever embarked on a cross-country road trip across the country can tell that there are many Love’s Travel Stops & Country Store, or simply Love’s, along the way. This is because it is one of the biggest gas and convenience store chains in the United States. It was first founded by the husband-and-wife duo of Tom and Judy Love. Initially a small service station, they were able to expand to different parts of the country after a decade. It must have helped that they bought out their competitors and signed numerous endorsement contracts. They recently partnered with the Oklahoma City Thunder and have locations in 41 states!
