List of wealthiest families

Various lists of the richest families (excluding royal families or autocratic ruling dynasties) are published internationally, by Forbes as well as other business magazines. There is a distinction between wealth held by identifiable individual billionaires or a "nuclear family" and the wider notion of an extended family or a historical "dynasty," where the wealth of a historically family-owned company or business has become distributed between various branches of descendants, usually throughout decades, ranging from several individuals to hundreds of offspring.
