R yan Horton is an American billionaire and a principal heir to the D.R. Horton fortune. He is the son of Donald R. Horton, who founded D.R. Horton in 1978 and built it into the largest homebuilding company in the United States. Following his father's death in 2024, Ryan inherited a significant portion of the family's equity in the publicly traded company, which operates in 36 states and has closed more than one million homes.
Unlike his father, who was the public face and driving force behind the company's aggressive expansion and acquisition strategy, Ryan maintains a very low profile. His wealth is anchored in the enduring value of the homebuilder, which continues to dominate the U.S. housing market. He is part of the Horton family trust structures that retain major ownership influence over the NYSE-listed giant.
