Taking a look at Danny Wirtz Family's Net-Worth

The Wirtz family gained renown as owners of the NHL's Chicago Blackhawks, while their wealth flourished through a thriving $2.5 billion wine and liquor distribution business. (As of 2015 according to Forbes)

Arthur Wirtz founded Wirtz Beverage in 1945, building upon his realty company established in 1926. Acquiring the Chicago Blackhawks in 1954, his son Bill faced public criticism in Chicago for managing the team on a strict budget, earning him the moniker "Dollar Bill." Following Bill's passing in 2007, his son Rocky assumed control and impressively led the Blackhawks to three Stanley Cup victories within six seasons.

While formerly overseeing the Wirtz Beverage Group, Rocky appointed his 46-year-old son Danny as the daily operations head in 2015, retaining the position of chairman.

Their enterprise extends across six states and Canada, encompassing beer, wine, and liquor distribution, as well as an insurance agency, television network, farm, two regional banks, real estate, and ownership of the United Center. Despite past disputes between Rocky and his four siblings over financial transparency, the matter was resolved eleven years ago.
