The Kraft Family
Robert Kraft made his first fortune from his Forest Products company selling paper packaging products to companies including Kodak, Quaker Oats and Avon. He then bought NFL’s New England Patriots for a record, in 1994, $172 million. His investment paid off with the team not only becoming NFL’s most successful franchise on the field, but also increased in value to a staggering $4.1 billion. Today, the Kraft family are worth $6.6 billion.
