21st Century Family Business Success

The key to America's, indeed the world's, success in the 21st. Century is the success of family owned and operated companies. Globally it is the small to medium sized privately held family owned and operated that makes up about 90% of the businesses.

Not only that but in the United States over one third of the Fortune 500 companies are family owned or controlled. These companies generate more than half the US GDP.

One of those family controlled companies is the world's largest,Wal-Mart (NYSE: WMT). With over 1.25 million employees and 4000+ stores, Wal-Mart was founded by Sam Walton in 1962 and his descendants own 38% of the company, the largest voting block by far.
