Walton family

Walton family

The Walton Family is one of the the richest families in the world, their wealth inherited from Bud and Sam Walton, founders of the world's largest retailer, Wal-Mart. The five most prominent members (Jim, John (d.2005), Rob, Alice, and Helen (d.2007)) have consistently been in the top ten of the "Forbes" 400 since 2001, although Helen dropped to #11 in 2006, probably due at least in part to her extensive philanthropy. Christy Walton took her husband John's place after his death in 2005. Collectively, the Waltons control over 39% of the company, and are worth approximately $19.2 billion each, for a combined total of $81.8 billion (as of March 2008). [ [http://www.forbes.com/lists/2008/10/billionaires08_The-Worlds-Billionaires_Rank.html Forbes The World's Billionaires] , 2008] . After Helen Walton passed away in April, 2007, her fortune will pass to charity over the next few years.
