It's 7:30 in the morning and having already eaten breakfast an hour earlier, I'm staring at a plate of bacon and eggs in the grand ballroom of the Omni Shoreham in Woodley Park. I've been chatting with my table mates who are in town from California to network about women-owned minority businesses and federal contracts. We all snap to attention when we hear a booming voice yell: "Is the grits good?" It's Ronald Langston, the national director of the Commerce Department's Minority Business Development Agency since 2001. "Amen," replies someone in the crowd. Earth, Wind and Fire's "September" blasts through the conference hall and everyone smiles, pushes back their chairs, jumps up and begins clapping and dancing. It's time to get today's party started. It's the third and final day of the Minority Enterprise Development conference, one of the largest federally sponsored events targeting minorities. This year's agenda focuses on ...

There's a simple reason why Paris Hilton will never hold the keys to the family empire: The Hiltons don't own it. Barron Hilton, second son of hotel genius Conrad Hilton, sold the business to the Blackstone Group for $26 billion in July 2007, bypassing his eight children, including Paris' dad, Rick. The heirs were not apparent. A recent study of 242 family businesses owned by ultra high-net-worth individuals commissioned by U.S. Trust, Bank of America Private Wealth Management shows that despite professing dedication to preserving wealth, these companies are not doing the planning--estate, succession, asset protection--to achieve it. Only 15 percent of the companies studied stay under the control of their founding families past the second generation. Pressures exerted by other family members--whether a battle for control or because an individual is out of control--correlate to a surprising lack of planning. Two-thirds of these uber-rich business owners want to keep it in the family and have a succession plan. Only one-third of those plans are being implemented, and most of them are out of date. "The thing about the rich is that everybody thinks they have it all put together, but they're not even close," Russ Alan Prince, a world authority on private wealth and co-author of the study, observes. "They're too busy making money to protect the money they're making." Protecting the Family Fortune is a behavioral study based on psychogra ...
