Walton family

Sam Walton, founder of Walmart

The Walton family is an American family whose collective fortune makes them the richest family in the United States^[1] and among the richest in the world.^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5] The majority of their wealth derives from the heritage of Bud and Sam Walton, who were the co-founders of the world's largest retailer, Walmart.^[6] The three most prominent living members (Jim, Rob and Alice) have consistently been in the top twenty of the Forbes 400 since 2001, as were John (d. 2005) and Helen (d. 2007) prior to their deaths. Christy Walton took her husband John's place in that ranking after his death.

As of December 2014, the Waltons collectively owned 50.8 percent of the company.^[7] In May 2018, the annual Sunday Times Rich List indicated the Walton family's wealth is at $US174.9 billion.^[8]
