Douglas Durst – $5.2 Billion

Douglas Durst is one of the world’s richest men due to his grandfather’s real estate firm. In 1915, he launched The Durst Organization and the portfolio increased over the years to an enormous value of $5.2 billion.

Even though Durst has all of that revenue at his disposal, his personal worth is ‘only’ around $650 million. His children, Helena and Alexander, are both involved in the company and act as vice presidents. His brother, Robert Durst, was the subject of the docuseries The Jinx.
