The 40 richest families in America, ranked

The richest families in America have reached billion-dollar fortunes in different ways — from publishing and cosmetics to retail and hotels.

The Tisch family, worth an estimated $13.7 billion, owes its fortune to the Loews Corporation and New York Giants acquisitions made by brothers Bob and Larry Tisch in 1959. The family now controls about a third of Loews, which went public in 1959 and includes five billionaires in its second generation. Bob's children, Jonathan, Laurie, and Steve, sit on the New York Giants board, acquired by Bob's family in 1991.
