As of 2025, the net worth of Sam Walton's three children totals $337 billion, boosted by a 70% increase in Walmart stock over the past year. The Walton family retains 45% ownership of Walmart, which has evolved into the largest retail corporation in the U.S., boasting over $650 billion in revenue. Walmart has successfully countered competition from Amazon through innovative services such as online ordering with in-store pickup. Recently, generational changes in control within the family indicate a shift towards empowering the founder's grandchildren with inheritable voting rights.
The Walton family continues to control the company. The Wall Street Journal recently pointed out, "The Walton family-one of the richest clans in America--is passing some of its control in Walmart to the next generation, giving all of the founder's grandchildren voting rights over their inheritance."
In the most recent quarter, Walmart's revenue was higher by 5.5% to $170 billion. Global e-commerce revenue rose by 27%. One way in which Walmart has flanked Amazon is through its 'order online and pick up at store' service.
