Rick Cohen & family occupe actuellement le rang #121 du classement mondial StarFortune (secteur technologie). Fortune nette estimée : $22.0 B (+$44 M sur 24h).
Rick Cohen is owner and executive chairman of C&S Wholesale Grocers, the nation's largest grocery wholesaler, with some $30 billion in annual revenue.
The bulk of his family's wealth comes from warehouse automation firm Symbotic, which has been automating Walmart's 42 regional distribution centers.
Cohen, whose grandfather started C&S in 1918, launched Symbotic after tinkering around with technology to solve his own distribution problems at the family grocery business.
He built Symbotic largely in stealth, and took it public in a $5.5 billion SPAC deal sponsored by venture-capital giant SoftBank that closed in 2022. He is chairman, CEO and majority owner.
Symbotic reported revenue of $2.2 billion in fiscal 2025, up from $1.8 billion the previous year.
In August 2026, C&S agreed to buy a majority stake in grocery chain Winn-Dixie.
