Duncan Family’s Fortune Thrives with a Net Worth of $30 Billion


The Duncan family, renowned for their significant stake in Enterprise Product Partners, founded by the late Dan Duncan in 1968, commands approximately one-third of the company’s stock. The family is estimated to have a net worth of $30 billion.

Dan Duncan’s journey from rural Texas poverty to pipeline magnate epitomizes the American dream. Orphaned at a tender age, he was raised by his grandmother, who instilled in him the values of perseverance and diligence. Dan Duncan’s legacy extends far beyond business success. Despite his humble beginnings, he co-founded Enterprise Products, building it into a titan of the energy industry. Moreover, his philanthropic endeavors, including substantial contributions to medical research and education, underscored his commitment to giving back to society.

Upon Dan Duncan’s passing in 2010, his children—Randa Duncan Williams, Milane Frantz, Dannine Duncan Avara, and Scott Duncan—inherited a substantial $10 billion estate. Since then, the family’s wealth has nearly tripled, propelled by surging stock prices and lucrative dividend payouts.

Randa Duncan Williams assumes an active role within Enterprise Products, serving as the non-executive chairman since 2013. In contrast, Scott Duncan and his siblings maintain ownership stakes but refrain from direct involvement in the company’s operations.

Enterprise Products Partners, established over five decades ago, boasts an extensive portfolio encompassing natural gas processing facilities, oil and gas storage sites, and a sprawling network of pipelines spanning over 50,000 miles.
