World's Richest Families in 2025

The Bloomberg report for 2025 shows that the world's 25 richest families have a combined wealth of $2.9 trillion, which is $358.7 billion more than last year.

The Walton family, who own Walmart, are the richest with $513.4 billion.

The Ambani family from India is the only Indian family on the list, ranking 8th with $105.6 billion.

Four new families from different continents have joined the list this year.

The report also mentions that the minimum net worth to be on the list has increased to $46.4 billion.

The Waltons' wealth comes from their retail business, Walmart, which is the world's largest retailer.

The Ambanis, on the other hand, have a diversified business empire including oil, telecom, and digital services.

Both families are transitioning leadership to the next generation.
