The Wallenbergs

They don't like the word "power". But they are powerful. They don't like being in the public eye. But they can't avoid it. No country in the world has had such an influential family in finance. Nowhere else have so few controlled such a large portion on the stock exchange and had power over so many vital industrial companies: SKF, Saab Scania, ABB, Astra Zeneca, Electrolux, Stora, SEB... The patriarch, Peter Wallenberg, is over 80 and still keeps an eye on the business. But since 2006 the empire have been run by his sons, Jacob and Peter Jr, and nephew Marcus. They are the fifth generation. For over a century, the Wallenberg family has crowned the Swedish business world, and they have guarded their private lives just as carefully as they have managed their businesses. Now, for the first time, they have agreed to in-depth interviews and opened their archives, featuring documents and hundreds of films dating all the way back to the 1920s.
