What's happened to the Ford family fortune?
Henry Ford: second-generation immigrant, entrepreneur, and founding father of one of America's most famous companies. By making cars affordable for the masses, he built up a fortune that would be worth around $200 billion (£162bn) today – but what happened to all that money after he died in 1947?
While Henry Ford is a household name thanks to his eponymous Ford Motor Company, little is known about his descendants. That's despite the fact they still control the family business, which is now the 19th largest company in America, according to Fortune.
Read on as we look at the lives of some of the key living members of the Ford family, who were collectively worth $2 billion (£1.7bn) according to data shared by Forbes in 2015. All dollar amounts in US dollars.
