Biography

Overview

Pauline MacMillan Keinath is a billionaire and believed to be the largest shareholder of Cargill, the world's largest food company, with an estimated 13% stake.
Her late brother, Whitney MacMillan, was the final family member to serve as CEO of Cargill, retiring in 1995.
She is a descendant of W.W. Cargill, who founded the company in 1865 with a single grain warehouse in Iowa.
She is one of the seven remaining billionaires associated with Cargill, Inc., a company that has grown from its origins as a grain storage business to become the largest privately held company in the United States.
The Cargill/MacMillan family, to which Pauline belongs, remains one of the wealthiest families globally, still owning roughly 90% of Cargill, which generated $177 billion in sales across various divisions in 2023.

Cargill Company Overview

Cargill, Incorporated, founded in 1865, is an American global food corporation based in Minnetonka, Minnesota, and incorporated in Wilmington, Delaware.
It is the largest privately held company in the United States in terms of revenue, with reported gross revenues of $165 billion in 2022.
Cargill's major businesses include trading, purchasing, and distributing grain and other agricultural commodities, as well as trading in energy, steel, and transport.
The company is also involved in raising livestock, producing feed, and manufacturing food ingredients such as starch, glucose syrup, vegetable oils, and fats for various applications.
Cargill's financial services arm manages financial risks in commodity markets, and it previously split off a portion of its financial operations into Black River Asset Management.
Cargill also has significant investments, including its previous ownership of two-thirds of the shares of The Mosaic Company, one of the world's leading producers of concentrated phosphate and potash crop nutrients.

Employing over 160,000 employees in 66 countries, Cargill is responsible for 25% of all United States grain exports and supplies about 22% of the US domestic meat market.

Pauline MacMillan Keinath is very wealthy, but what's stopping you from reaching that same level of success? As summarized in our five fundamental rules to wealth building, becoming wealthy in a modern capitalist economy is not complicated. There's actually only three variables:

  1. Your starting capital
  2. Your earnings after expenses
  3. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of your savings

Most people start with zero or very little, so if you weren't born into wealth, don't fret! The majority of the fortunate folks listed in our Grizzly Bulls’ Billionaires Index came from middle class or lower backgrounds. The most distinguishing characteristic of the group is their ability to consistently earn a high CAGR on their savings.

Every billionaire has a unique strategy to achieve high CAGR. For Pauline MacMillan Keinath, Cargill is the primary source. Whether you choose to invest your savings in your own businesses or the businesses of others is not as important. The salient piece of the puzzle is ensuring that your hard-earned savings are generating sufficient CAGR to reach your long term goals.

Most people simply invest their money in index funds and call it a day. There's nothing wrong with this approach, but it guarantees relative mediocrity. To achieve greatness, you need to invest your money to earn higher than average returns. In the long run, better investors will always finish ahead of better earners.
