It’s more than twice the estimated net worth of family No. 2, the Koch family, whose diversified wealth is estimated to be around $100 billion.So how does this compare to years past? In , Forbes estimated the H-E-B family fortune to be closer to $11 billion.To find the summation of the family’s wealth, Forbes “added up their assets, including stakes in public and private companies, real estate, art and cash, and took into account estimates of debt.”Forbes also excluded “any assets irrevocably pledged to charitable foundations” which could have potentially put the Butts higher up the list as they are known for their philanthropy through H-E-B donations.“We attempted to vet these numbers with all the families or their representatives,” Forbes officials said.H-E-B was also named “Grocer of the Year” in December by for the company’s preparation and response to the H-E-B was founded in 1905 in Kerrville by Florence Butt who opened her petite grocery store with just $60, Forbes reported.Howard Butt helped to expand H-E-B across Texas and his son Charles, who started as a bag boy in the 1940s at age 8, would take over as CEP in 1971.Today, Charles is still in charge of the company and owns the majority stake in Texas’ favorite grocery chain which has more than 340 store locations throughout Texas and Mexico.Copyright 2021 by KSAT - All rights reserved.About the Author:
