The Walton family is an American family whose collective fortune makes them the richest familes in the world.[1][2][3][4] The majority of their wealth derives from the heritage of Bud and Sam Walton, whom were the founders of the world's largest retailer, Walmart.[5] The three most prominent living members (Jim, Rob and Alice) have consistently been in the top ten 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 after his death.

Collectively, the Waltons own over 50% of the company, and are worth a combined total of around $150 billion[6] (as of January 2015).[7]
