The Richest Person in Every U.S. State

The Cathy family built their fortune through Chick-fil-A, one of the largest fast-food chains in the United States. Founded by S. Truett Cathy, the business grew steadily with a focus on customer service and a strong brand identity. His children expanded the company into a nationwide powerhouse.

Today, the Cathy family continues to run and shape Chick-fil-A’s future while maintaining its private ownership structure. They remain closely involved in operations and company culture. Alongside business, they dedicate time to philanthropy, particularly in education and community programs across the country.
