Meet Budweiser billionaire Billy Busch, who pled guilty to assaulting an 11-year-old, owns a 700-acre farm outside St. Louis, and stars in an MTV reality show with his wife and 7 kids

Adolphus Busch, the great-grandfather of Billy Busch Sr., invented Budweiser, according to Forbes. Busch's father, August "Gussie" Anheuser Busch, was the CEO of Anheuser-Busch for over two decades and owner of the St. Louis Cardinals, according to The Society for American Baseball Research. The younger Busch never had any involvement in the family company.

Over 100 years later, Anheuser-Busch makes 12 different lagers, including Budweiser, Michelob Ultra, Stella Artois, and Busch Beer, according to the company website.

The Busches sold 25% of Anheuser-Busch to outside investors between 1989 and 2008, diluting their stake in the business too much to stop its $52 billion takeover by InBev in 2008, according to Forbes.

But the wing of the Busch family that stars in "The Busch Family Brewed" never worked at Anheuser-Busch, according to the St. Louis Post Dispatch. Billy Busch Sr.'s half-nephew, August Busch IV, was the company's CEO at the time of the sale, the Post Dispatch reported.

The fortune is shared between approximately 30 members of the family, according to Forbes. The Busches were the 18th richest family in American in 2016, Forbes reported.

The Busch's home is located in Ladue, Missouri, according to The St. Louis Post Dispatch. The home is 6,300 square feet and is on 4.5 wooded acres, according to The Tuscaloosa News.

Their estate outside the city has its own lake where the family can use its boats and jet skis; it also houses 50 horses and numerous chickens, Christi Busch told Us Weekly. "We're very down-home people and we work on the farm getting chicken eggs, riding horses," Haley Busch told Fox News.

With an average household income of $291,794, Ladue is the wealthiest suburb in the St. Louis area, according to the St. Louis Business Journal. Ladue is also one of the wealthiest zip codes in the nation, ranking No. 22 on the 2019 edition of Bloomberg's list of the wealthiest towns in the United States.

The estate has been in the family since 1903 and was previously owned by President Ulysses S. Grant, according to St. Louis Magazine. The farm is named after Grant, according to Atlas Obscura.

The estate's main house is inspired by both Versailles and the family's German heritage, St. Louis Magazine reported in 2014. The farm is also home to the Budweiser Clydesdales and is open to the public during the summer, according to St. Louis Magazine.

Matriarch Christi Busch's Instagram account features photos of family members drinking on a yacht in Mexico, posing on a beach in Anguilla, enjoying mountain views outside a restaurant in Aspen, Colorado, and standing poolside in Palm Beach.

Gussie Busch played football for the University of Alabama, according to The Tuscaloosa News, while Billy Busch, Jr. played for Ole Miss. Grace Busch is also a competitive showjumper, according to St. Louis Magazine.

Several of the Busch children were enrolled in all-girls or all-boys schools, Christi Busch told Us Weekly.

At least one Busch was a student at Chaminade College Preparatory School, according to the St. Louis Post Dispatch. Tuition at Chaminade is $20,550 a year for students who do not board, according to the school's website.

Busch's son and another student on the basketball team got into an argument during basketball practice when Busch allegedly grabbed the other student and pushed him into a wall, The St. Louis Post Dispatch reported.

Busch later pleaded guilty to charges of fourth-degree assault and claimed he was protecting his son from being bullied, according to The Post Dispatch.

The incident was the second time Busch has been charged with assault. In 1982, Busch was accused of reaching from his car into a restaurant's drive-thru window to hit an employee in the throat after the employee made a degrading mark about Busch's mother, The Post Dispatch reported. Busch was later acquitted at trial.

Busch was also accused of biting a man's ear off during a street fight when he was 22, but prosecutors did not press charges, according to The Post Dispatch.

The brewery, called William K. Busch Brewing Co., produced a craft beer called Kräftig before shuttering in June 2019, according to The St. Louis Post Dispatch.

"Don't count us out," Busch said in a press release at the time, according to St. Louis Magazine. "This business is in my blood. We're already considering new avenues. Stay tuned."

The family's efforts to build another new brewery on their farm are chronicled in their reality television show, according to St. Louis Magazine.

"I think we've been approached for a lot of years about doing a show," Haley Busch told Fox News. "I think just with the fascination with our family's history, but it was never the right time because we were all young. And now that we're building this business together and we're all older, I think it's a perfect time to document what we're doing."

"I think our parents always kept us very down-to-earth and we never really thought that we were different than anybody," Haley Busch told Fox News.
