World’s richest women

Alice Louise Walton is an American to the fortune of Walmart Inc. She is the daughter of Walmart founder Sam Walton and Helen Walton, and sister of S. Robson Walton, Jim Walton, and therefore the late John T. Walton.


In September 2016 she owned over US$11 billion in Walmart shares and hence became self made women. As of May 2020, she was ranked as the 9th-richest person in the world and the richest woman in the world, with an estimated net worth of $56 billion.


Walton was born in Newport, Arkansas. She was raised along with her 3 brothers in Bentonville, Arkansas, and graduated from Bentonville HS in 1966. She graduated from Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas, with a B.A. in economics.


Walton married a prominent Louisiana investment banker in 1974 at age 24, but they were divorced 2½ years later. According to Forbes Magazine, she married "the contractor who built her swimming pool" soon after, but they, too, divorced quickly.


Walton has been involved in multiple automobile accidents, one of them fatal. She lost control of a rented Jeep during a 1983 Thanksgiving family reunion near Acapulco and plunged into a ravine, shattering her leg. She was airlifted out of Mexico and underwent more than two dozen surgeries; she suffers lingering pain from her injuries. In 1989 she struck and killed 50-year-old Oleta Hardin who had stepped onto a road in Fayetteville Arkansas. Witnesses stated that Walton was speeding at the time, but no charges were filed. In 1998 she hit a gas meter while driving under the influence of alcohol.
