The Pritzker family is an American family engaged in various business enterprises and philanthropy, and one of the wealthiest families in the United States. The family has stayed in the top 10 of Forbes magazine's "America's Richest Families" list since the magazine began such listings in 1982. Its major fortunes started in the 20th century, particularly through the expansion of the Hyatt Hotels Corporation by Jay Pritzker.
