Cargill MacMillan, Jr. was born on March 29, 1927 in the United States and is one of seven relatives on the Forbes 400 who hold a combined 88 percent of Cargill, the largest private company in the U.S. Founded by William Cargill, a Scottish sea captain, after the Civil War, the company has since diversified into all areas of food production, from animal feed, meat, and crops to commodity trading and risk management. In 2011, Cargill divested itself of its stake in fertilizer maker Mosaic. The company has been family-run since John MacMillan took control in 1909, but no family member has run the company since Whitney stepped down as chief executive in 1995.
