An owner is not a king. If your goal is 100 families who are financially independent there are likely another 1,000 to 100,000 that support them with jobs they need because they haven't made enough to become financially independent. These may be direct employees, or at suppliers, partners, customers. These are voluntary associations, not hereditary. Successful businesses create and rely upon interdependencies. Feudalism was one structure for reciprocal obligation (certainly post Magna Carta in England) but there are many others. For me the goal is to create products that customers value and build a company that people want to work at because of its shared values, regardless of who is running it. Ken Hendricks clearly embodied a "leadership is service" model and for me is good example of a business leader.
