  "account": "The Walmart heirs, Rob, Alice, and Jim Walton, are among the wealthiest individuals in America, with a combined estimated net worth of over $475 billion. All three surviving children of Walmart founder Sam Walton have accumulated wealth in excess of $100 billion individually. Despite their immense fortune, the Waltons maintain a low public profile. As of November 5, Forbes estimates the combined wealth of the Walmart heirs, including their grandson Lukas, to be approximately $487 billion.\n\nRob Walton, the oldest of the three children, is 82 years old and has an estimated net worth of $148 billion. He served as chairman of Walmart from 1992 until 2015 and remained on the board until 2024. Rob has made headlines for his ownership group that purchased the Denver Broncos for $4.7 billion in 2022, a record-breaking sale at the time. He also owns a collection of vintage cars and has crashed one of them, a $15 million Daytona Coupe, off the track in 2013.",
