(4/6) The Hermes family
Wealth: $ 111.6 billion
Company: Hermes
We believe that you all know that most of the richest people in the world own a Hermes Birkin bag or some other limited edition product signed by this fashion house. Well, by all accounts, it was this popularity of their creations that brought them magnificent wealth. In 1837, Thierry Hermes began producing riding equipment for the nobility. Until 1978, the company had a global network of boutiques where they sold their luxury pieces, and even today, the richest people in the world have no problem giving fabulous sums of money to show off with a Hermes Birkin bag on their hand. Axel Dumas, a representative of the sixth generation of this dynasty of luxury, has been at its helm since 2014.
