Er... I think you better check who is Sam Walton and Walmart before stating dis...
Forbes ranked Sam Walton as the richest man in the United States from 1985 to 1988,
ceding the top spot to John Kluge in 1989 only because the editors began to credit Walton's fortune jointly to him and his four children. (Bill Gates first headed the list in 1992, the year Walton died). Wal-Mart Stores Incorporated also runs "Sam's Club" warehouse stores. Wal-Mart stores now operate in Mexico, Canada, Argentina, Brazil, South Korea, China, Germany and Puerto Rico. Walton left his business to his three sons and daughter.The worth of the family is greater than $100 billion.The Walton family holds 5 spots in the top 10 richest people in the United States. Two daughters of Sam's brother Bud Walton, Ann Kroenke and Nancy Laurie, hold smaller shares in the company and are also billionaires in their own right.While Bill Gates, founder and chairman of Microsoft Corp., is the world's richest person for the seventh consecutive year with a net worth that has risen to $46.6 billion, according to Forbes magazine.
