Gates gets a lot of credit, but Paul Allen was no slouch either.

The Bollore family is also often overlooked.

Where would the Mars family be if they traded publicly?

The Campbell Soup clan on the other hand can’t seem to get out of their own way.

Thanks for an interesting post. Additionally, I think there is an ETF (I know, surprising) that holds founder/family run companies.

Thanks for the insightful comment.

Not suprised that there is an EFT. However, the ETF I found ($BOSS) contained a lot of expensive growth stocks - not my cup of tea, but interesting to see the performance vs the index.

Thanks. Yes, that may be the one. Not my cup of tea either. I want to buy them when they are on sale or at least at a reasonable price.
