Which family has done the best at preserving its wealth through the generations?

I'm gonna go with the Rothschilds.

Not a clue. This thread will educate me. I hope. If not, the petty sniping and oneupmanship will surely entertain.

That's mostly all relatively minor OLD money. The Waltons probably have the largest family empire right now.

But even theirs (and certainly not anyone on the OP list) can come close to Musk ($381B) Bezos ($225B) Zuch ($225B)

OOPS, I stand corrected. The entire gang of Waltons is over $430B !!

The Rothschilds have lost a lot of their money, and it's been split up countless ways. This is not a popular bit of information with the Illuminati believers.

Rothschilds, Rockefellers, duPonts have spread their money around and thought deep long term. There are too many duPonts but the richest core will always be rich.

I've known Fords, Morgans, Goulds, and Vanderbilts, the great majority of whom have a better name than they have bank accounts. Not that they are just scraping but the continuation of their generational wealth is nearing an end. The brothers (Vanderbilt) Cecil brothers, both of whom died in the last 10 years were in good shape with 200M or so each making a good returning on Biltmore House and it's huge lands, but also from strategic marriages that produced them.

The conservative schemes, conservative spending,and low returns expected of previous generations...it's a different landscape now.

The Saxe-Coburg and Gotha Windsor clan have a monopoly just by procreating.
