The three living children of Walmart co-founder Sam Walton
Sam Walton
Samuel Moore Walton (March 29, 1918 – April 5, 1992) was an American business magnate best known for founding the retailers Walmart and Sam's Club, which he started in Rogers, Arkansas and Midwest City, Oklahoma in 1962 and 1983 respectively.
Jim Walton, Alice Walton, and Rob Walton are the top three individual shareholders of Walmart. Walmart's largest institutional investors include the John T. Walton Estate Trust, Vanguard Group, and BlackRock.
The Waltons are the richest family in America thanks to their stake in Walmart, the world's largest retailer by sales. An estimated 45% of Walmart's stock is held by the families of seven heirs of founders Sam Walton (d.
The estimated net worth of C Douglas Mcmillon is at least $400 Million dollars as of 2024-09-17. C Douglas Mcmillon is the President and CEO of Walmart Inc and owns about 4,961,785 shares of Walmart Inc (WMT) stock worth over $400 Million. Details can be seen in C Douglas Mcmillon's Latest Holdings Summary section.
It is a publicly traded family-owned business, as the company is controlled by the Walton family. Sam Walton's heirs own over 50 percent of Walmart through both their holding company Walton Enterprises and their individual holdings.
Warren Buffett was a major shareholders in Walmart until 2016, when he sold most of Berkshire Hathaway's stake in the retailer. At that time, Buffett cited Jeff Bezos and Amazon as a threat that made retail stocks a “tough” game.
The Walmart heiress is now the 18th-richest person in the world, as of September 7, just three spots behind her brother Rob Walton and four behind Jim Walton. How rich is the richest family in America? Forbes says Walton has poured more than $5 billion into charitable foundations.
When asked for comment, Walmart referred Business Insider to a 2015 statement from Walton Enterprises announcing a plan to sell shares "from time to time" as a way to keep the family's ownership below 50% of the company and to fund charitable initiatives.
Walmart CEO Doug McMillon received $26.9 million in total compensation last fiscal year. The median compensation for Walmart employees was $27,642, per the company's annual proxy statement. Since 2009, McMillon has been paid $136 million for his work as a Walmart executive.
Landing him squarely in the 37% tax bracket, that's a tax bill of nearly $8.18 million if he files individually–sort of. Just $1.3 million of his total compensation is in base salary.
That's 1.55% of their equity portfolio (8th largest holding). The first Walmart trade was made in Q2 2006. Since then Bill Gates bought shares nine more times and sold shares on five occasions. The stake costed the investor $490 Million, netting the investor a gain of 49% so far.
Why is Wal-mart changing its name to Walmart? It's not about the hyphen, it's about going from Wal-Mart Stores Inc to Walmart Inc. It's about dropping the stores due to Wal-Mart being so much more that just the brick and mortar buildings. Hope that clarifies.
Jim Walton, 76, the youngest son of founder Sam Walton, leads the way with US$102.6 billion, while Rob Walton, 79, is at US$100.4 billion, according to Bloomberg's index. Sister Alice Walton, 74, just missed eclipsing the 12-figure mark in wealth at US$99.7 billion.
In September 2024, Alice Walton had a net worth of $88.9 billion, making her the 18th-richest person and the richest woman in the world. The Walton family fortune is broken down as such: Jim Walton, $95.7 billion. S. Robson Walton, $94 billion.

Shaquille O'Neal claims to own the biggest purchase in Walmart history, and it's hard to doubt him. In an interview on HBO's "Real Sports," O'Neal said after the Miami Heat traded him to the Phoenix Suns in 2008, he didn't have anything for his apartment, so he turned to Walmart to get some essentials.
