Golden Oak is the only residential space actually on Disney property. It even has its own designation on mailing addresses: Golden Oak, FL. Also in the neighborhood is Orlando's five-star hotel, the Four Seasons.
It is owned and operated by The Walt Disney Company through its Experiences division and is home to two theme parks (Disneyland and Disney California Adventure), three hotels, and the Downtown Disney shopping, dining, and entertainment district.
With space in California limited by the surrounding city, Disney bought a much larger parcel of land in Florida in 1965. Ringing in at a total of 43 square miles — or 27,520 acres — Walt Disney World is substantially larger than its older sibling. The park also has grown and it now covers 47 square miles.

As for how much the Disney family is worth these days, that's not entirely clear. According to Walt Disney's grand-nephew, Roy Patrick Disney, Walt and Roy owned about 20% of the company by 1960 and today the whole family owns less than 3% of it. Most of the family has stayed out of the business.
Collectively, eight of the grandchildren signed a pair of letters to shareholders in which they defended the legacy of Disney founders Roy and Walt Disney, and voiced support for the current CEO Bob Iger.
How much does it cost to run Disney World for a day?
You can take the $3,250,000/day/park and estimate to just run the 4 theme parks at Disney World to be $13,000,000/day. An average of 51,000 attend each of the major parks each day which means your $100/day ticket cost just covers operating expenses.
