Sorry, one last one.... The Astor family. Began in Germany, moved to England and then to NYC. Wanna know power and influence in the US? The Astors are them. No one even understands the level of their worth., Today, their family name lives on all around the city and well as in Florida, Missouri and other locals around the US and the Globe.
NYC for example....They were once called the landlords of New York, where some of the places are still named after them, like the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, Astor Row, Astor Court, Astor Place, Astor Avenue, and even the Astoria neighborhood in Queens.
Seven States have cities named after them. This is wealth, not the current Billionaires of the US. They have money. Nothing else.
