According to wiki, the founder built the base of his fortune, initially, on the opium trade. Big pharma before there was big pharma. So, basically, dealing in drugs.
“… He cemented the family's dominant position in the Sino-Indian opium trade. (See First Opium War.) The family's businesses in China, and Hong Kong especially, were built to capitalise on the opium business. …”
This was a few decades before my time, and I've never heard of Sassoon before. Mind elaborating? Or at least throwing a video or article my way? I'm legit curious.
Back in the 80s, Sassoon bragged of his family being worth 250 TRILLION DOLLARS.
See what happens when you can print your own money? (Yes, there's more to it, but you see where I'm going with it.)
