Asia's richest families

With Asia's culture of family businesses, it is no wonder that many of the region's largest companies are family firms, with members of the family taking part.

A recent report on CNBC.com compiled a list of Asia's wealthiest families, with data from Wealth-X, a research firm that provides information to private banks and consulting firms.

Net worth was calculated based on public and private holdings, estimated cash salaries, dividends, and all other investible assets.

For each of the families in the list, at least two members play an active part in the business.
