other assets he owns. Born in born in Oak Park, Illinois, according to
Forbes Magazine, Mars is 52nd richest person in the world, the 19th
richest American, and the richest Virginian.
His net worth was
accumulated through Mars' famous family and the candy and snack food
company it owns, which is responsible for some of the most famous candy
brands in America. Just some of the candies that fall under the Mars,
Inc. umbrella are M&Ms, Snickers, Milky Way, Three Musketeers,
Skittles, and Starburst candies. Mars has also made headlines for his
political efforts to block coal and natural gas companies from mining on
his ranch, despite their legal rights to do so. Mars has blocked these
companies despite their holding the leases on what many consider to be
the "most productive coal and natural gas fields in the nation." Mars'
concern is allegedly the amount of water required for these kinds of
exploratory endeavors, which is water he says must be used to maintain
the ranch. According to a 2010 issue of Forbes magazine, Forrest Mars,
Jr. is the 52nd richest person in the entire world, which makes him not
only the 26th richest American, but the single richest Virginian in the
