#49 Tisch family (Giants 50% owners too)

2015 AMERICA'S RICHEST FAMILIES NET WORTH$6B as of 7/1/15

Sisters-in-law Joan Tisch and Wilma "Billie" Tisch and their sons share the family fortune built by their late husbands, investors Preston (known as Bob) and Laurence Tisch. The brothers got their start with a New Jersey hotel in 1946; they acquired Loews Theatres in 1959 and soon diversified. Today family owns approximately 17% of publicly traded Loews Corp. which includes oil drilling (Diamond Offshore), natural gas pipelines (Boardwalk), and insurance (CNA). Joan's son Jonathan heads luxury resort chain, Loews Hotels. Wilma's son James is the CEO of Loews; his brother Andrew is co-chairman of the board with Jonathan. Joan is one of several high profile financial supporters revamping Governor's Island in New York City, through a 30-acre project dubbed "The Hills" which is expected to cost $70 million when it's ready by 2016 . She also inherited 50% ownership of the New York Giants football team, which her late husband Bob bought in 1991. The team's new home, MetLife Stadium, has been a success, even attracting the 2014 Super Bowl. A committed AIDS advocate and philanthropist, she funded the Tisch building at Gay Men's Health Crisis in Manhattan.
