10 Most Powerful Families In The World

Without wanting to sound like a conspiracy theorist there are some families who exercise some measure of control over elected politicians. Little can be done to prevent this. They tend to be well established industrial or banking families who leverage their wealth in return for access to political leaders. But some newcomers are only just getting started.

I like how so many posts have added families they thought should have been on the list. It gives me some good leads for other vids to look up.

House Lannister is the richest, controlling the gold industry and even the crown has debts with this house. haha

[Davidful]

You forget the Guggenheim family, Warburg family, Schiff family, and Astor family.

4:58 So we're just going to ignore the fact that zebras are pulling a carrige? Okay...

[PaulMountney]

The Walton family own 51% of Walmart, but they can’t afford to spend a few more dollars on fixing the card readers at the checkouts!

At the end, they die & only get a spot in the ground..

The families that are truly the most powerful are probably too smart to make themselves known.

"I just wanted to include the witch thing." That made me laugh. Good video tho, not saying it's not.

Another interesting vid.
Although I would point out that of all those 10 families you showed only the rothchilds never appear in the forbes rich list or any other list, its impossible tofindout how muchthey're really worth

"I just wanted to include the witch thing" 😂😂😂😭😭😭

This is historic, so far I'm related with 3 last names here. I never even knew this. I love history. I'm not bragging I'm only saying everyone needs to do there family history with zero expectations but learning and knowledge and respect to where your own family came from.

[JAZZELLIOTT]

i come from one of the largest clans from Ireland but i'm not rich so it doesn't really matter.

[drfireblood]

You forgot my family 😥😢😔, the Jesus family#1

[cristianmures]

Saud family gave a new meaning to expression "my country"

[Eskify]

Jeb Bush brought shame to his family like a bad guy from an old kungfu movie

[kenmatthews]

You left my family off this video. It's cool I'll wait until the next list.

[hollandnovak]

I really love, that at the end of this video you said, " if you want to support this channel then you can leave a like (thumbs up." Instead of say something about patreon. I am now subscribing, though i was already going to subscribe before this video, i just forgot:/ :P

[Kingkongzilla]

4:30 had me laughing on the floor. "I just wanted to mention the witch thing lmao"

[alexiskiri]

I'm suprised you didn't include the Queen of England. She owns the most actual land on the planet. The house of Saud comes in a far second, and the land they own is mostly desert.
