The Cargill-MacMillan Family — $65 Billion (Cargill)

$177B revenue. 25% of U.S. grain. 14 billionaires. Nobody knows them.

The Cargill-MacMillan family holds a commanding lead as owners of the largest privately held company in the world by revenue: Cargill generated $177 billion in 2023. This 88% family-owned giant controls 25% of U.S. grain exports, processes meat for McDonald's and Walmart, and trades commodities across 70 countries. With over 100 family members holding ownership stakes, 14 are billionaires, and their supply chain feeds approximately one-third of the planet. Yet their power remains invisible—a stark contrast to the Murdoch family's media visibility. The Cargill-MacMillans exemplify silent, data-driven capitalism.
