The Rich List

Filed in archive Announcements by Alex Akesson on April 14, 2008

The Family Office Organisation has just released the 3rd Edition of "The 3300 Global Family Office Database 2008", with 1800 entries from the USA and 1240 from Europe.

The world's ultra-rich families have established these 'Family Offices' to ensure that their wealth is preserved for future generations. The annual cost to manage a Family Office can exceed $2 million. However, assets under management would normally exceed $500 million and well into the Billions.

Family Offices started to evolve in the late 1800s - early 1900s on the sale of major family businesses during the industrial revolutionlinks. Instead of dividing the proceeds to the family siblings at that time. European aristocratic families had similar set-ups, called Estate Offices; many are still in existence to this day. However at that time, as now, most European families were predominately major land owners.
