Scion 1100 Words You Need

/ˈsaɪ.ən/ (noun)

a young member or child of a rich and famous family, offspring, progeny, younger member of family, last issue, child, heir, descendant, son, daughter, chip off the old block

Overall, America’s rich just keep getting richer — thanks in large part to Internet Bubble 2.0. The Forbes 400 net worth cut off this year was a record-high $2 billion. In Texas, low oil prices have dflatlined the growth in some fortunes, like that of San Antonio natural gas tycoon Rod Lewis and business legend Red McCombs. They may still be billionaires, but they’re no longer rich enough to make the Forbes 400. Another conspicuous absence from this Texas rich list is Charles Butt, the scion of the family behind the beloved HEB supermarket chain. Because of company stakes held by other family members, we’ve reassigned the Butts as a family fortune, estimated at $10.7 billion.
