Does California have its “Fourteen Families”? (money, economy)

[Suesbal]

A claim was made years ago that El Salvador had 14 families that dominated its economy through that country’s time of existence. Is there a similar group of old money families in California who have managed to maintain their clout in that state despite the major changes it has gone through over the decades?

Yes but no one speaks of it.

I think we have a new reach families in California related to High Tech. I don't think "old money" can compete with them.

Nancy and her nephew Gavin come to mind.
