Citywealth Leaders List: Top 25 Chicago Advisors and Managers 2026

Chicago has been creating wealth for more than a century. Built on industry, transport and trade, it remains one of America’s most important financial and commercial centres, combining established family fortunes with a growing generation of entrepreneurs, investors and business owners. Home to iconic names including the Pritzker, Crown, Wrigley, McCormick, Ryan and Mansueto families, the city has also become a centre for innovation, with major investment flowing into artificial intelligence, quantum computing and technology.

That combination of old and new wealth continues to drive demand for expert advice on succession planning, trusts, philanthropy, investment management and family governance. The professionals featured in this Citywealth Top List represent many of the leading advisers serving high and ultra high net worth individuals, family offices and privately owned businesses across the Chicago region, helping clients preserve wealth, navigate complex legal and tax issues and plan for future generations.
