At present, it occupies the 9th line in the list of the world’s richest people, with a net capital of $ 38.8 billion. Christy’s father-in-law is Sam Walton, the founder of the Walmart network.
She was the wife of John T. Walton, who died in a plane crash almost 10 years ago. All his capital, which amounted to $ 18.2 billion before his death, he bequeathed to his wife and son.
Christie has always been known as a philanthropist, who donated significant amounts to Arkansas, as well as a number of other universities.
She never led a life of luxury, which she could afford, because she wanted her son to grow up under normal conditions. After the death of her husband, she even donated her house to a local charitable organization.
