PROFILE |
 |
Every empire needs a crown jewel; for holding company Henry Crown and Co., that shining diamond is its stake in General Dynamics, a top national defense contractor. Controlled by Chicago's Crown family, the investment firm owns or has stakes in a motley yet gargantuan collection of business assets. These holdings include stakes in sports (the Chicago Bulls and the New York Yankees), home appliances (Maytag), building materials (Vulcan Materials), telephone systems (ALLTEL), and residential real estate. Chicago financier Henry Crown ran the company until his death in 1990; son Lester succeeded him. The Crown family, worth an estimated $3.1 billion, ranks #146 on "Forbes" list of world billionaires.
