The Cathy Family
Samuel Truett Cathy banked on the beloved southern dish – fried chicken. He started a fast food chain – Chick-fil-A (originally called the Dwarf Grill) – in the College Park in Georgia. The company has more than 2,300 locations all over the 47 US states. Being the largest specialty chicken sandwich chain, the family has amassed an impressive fortune of $11 billion.
