– The Walt Disney Company was founded nearly a century ago by two brothers—Walt and Roy O. Disney—and since then, the family has largely stayed out of the spotlight, Business Insider reports. The family is worth an estimated $130 billion, according to GOBankingRates, though it’s not clear just how much of that is in the Disney family. Here’s a look at the three generations that make up the Disney family: The Walt Disney Company was founded by brothers Walt and Roy O. Disney nearly a century ago. What began as a cartoon studio is now a media powerhouse, complete with amusement parks and properties. But for all its success, the family behind “The Happiest Place on Earth” has largely stayed out of the limelight and the business. While it’s not known just how much the family is worth, GOBankingRates estimated the company’s net worth to be $130 billion. Roy O.’s grandson, Roy P., previously said the family owns less than 3% of the company, but assuming it is about that amount would put their fortune around $3.9 billion (not counting any investments in addition to Disney holdings). From a family-trust-fund feud to generous philanthropic endeavors, here’s a look at the three generations.
