These Texas Families Are Worth Billions

This may be my biased opinion, but it’s safe to say that El Paso, Texas is home to some pretty successful people... But apparently not quite successful enough to land a spot on Forbes’ latest list of America’s wealthiest families. Wow. I am offended!

This exclusive list features families with a net worth of $10 billion or more (yes, billion with a “B”). While El Paso didn’t make the cut, a few Texas powerhouses sure did—Houston popped up more than once, with San Antonio and Fort Worth flexing their generational wealth too. Luckiesssss

You know how the saying goes, “Everything is bigger in Texas and apparently that also means a few families bank accounts! *BRB, manifesting that my direct deposit eventually looks like theirs.*

How Does Forbes Determine What Family is The Wealthiest in a State?

It’s a valid question for those of us who are wonderinh why our families werent on this distinguished list! *enter sarcasm here* Well, according to a good ole google search:

"Forbes determines the wealthiest families in a state by focusing on multi-generational families with a minimum net worth of $10 billion. They estimate family fortunes by considering various assets like stakes in public and private companies, real estate, art, and other luxury items. Forbes also accounts for debt and charitable giving when calculating the net worth of each family."

Alright, fair enough. Take a look at what Forbes considers the wealthiest families in the Lone Star State and see if you agree with the list!
