Cargill family
The Cargill family is one of the richest families in the world, holders of Cargill, the largest privately held corporation in the United States.[1][2] The family members are the descendants of William W. Cargill,[2] who started the company in Iowa after the Civil War.
The Cargill family owns 90% of the family business.[3] The exact wealth of the family is unknown, because, as Cargill company is privately owned, they are under no obligation to disclose their wealth.
Two branches of the Cargill family exist. Following the death of William W. Cargill, his son-in-law, John MacMillan, saved the company from a debt crisis. The MacMillans are estimated by Forbes to be worth $1.2 billion each. The wealth of James Cargill and Margaret Cargill were estimated to be $1.8 billion each. In 2006, W. Duncan MacMillan, James Cargill, and Margaret Cargill all died.[3]
