I've read estimates that they are worth an average of 15-20 trillion per living family member but there is no public record to show who really controls the wealth

This is notable because it comes from a reputable publication. If mainstream concepts like being 'reputable' mean anything these days, that is. It is similar to the estimate I posted in the OP from the Independent 20 years before. But even Newsweek says it might be as low as one billion.

I guess the question is - what does this mean, how is it translated into real world policy making?

Worth a congressional investigation I'd say.
