America's wealthiest agriculture family has gotten even richer as the Ukraine war sends food prices

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Three heirs of the Cargill-MacMillans, a six-generation dynasty that founded the world's largest agriculture company, have joined Bloomberg's Billionaire Index — bringing the total number of family members on the list to five.

The Cargill-MacMillans have consistently ranked among the 25 richest families in America, and are currently listed by Forbes as the nation's fourth-richest family, behind the Waltons, Kochs, and Mars. Together, the family has a combined net worth of $51.6 billion, Bloomberg reported in September.

The recent rise in the secretive family's fortune comes as the Ukraine war sends food prices around the world to record highs, a trend that will hit "the poorest the hardest," the UN said Friday.

But as rampant inflation and instability spark fears of a global food crisis, Big Agriculture companies have so far benefited from the volatility.
