Hierarchy of the power clans

The Emanuel brothers — Ari, Rahm and Zeke — crack Town & Country’s new list of America’s most powerful families ranking ahead of the Kennedys, McCains and Pritzkers. (The trio sits at No. 4 while the Bush family’s perched on top.) The magazine’s “first annual list of the country’s most prominent families” include various categories . (For example, the Marsalis clan beats out the Coppolas as most creative, the Gates are most generous, and Christopher Reeve’s brood topped Ralph Lauren and his kin in the “most inspiring” category.) There are also the expected DuPonts, Vanderbilts and Rockefellers. But the rankings will surely lead to debate: “Because one successful individual doesn’t make a dynasty, there are no Zuckerbergs or Brins on our list,” the mag’s May issue explains. Mark Zuckerberg’s sister, Randi, and Sergey Brin’s wife, Anne Wojcicki, might take exception to that one.
