Abundant liquidity, soaring stock markets and accommodating tax policies have been favourable for the growing dynastic wealth of the world’s 25 richest families who are now worth $1.7 trillion, a 22% increase from a year ago.
The Waltons of Arkansas, who own nearly half of retailer Walmart Inc., top the list for the fourth year running with a net worth of $238.2 billion. Their fortune grew by $23 billion in the past 12 months, despite the family selling $6 billion worth of stock since February.
