World's Richest Family Wealth Over $500B
The Walton family, owners of Walmart, is considered the richest family in the world, with a net worth estimated at over $520 billion as of July 2026, according to Forbes magazine. Their wealth dates back to 1962 when Sam Walton and his brother Bud opened the first Walmart store in Arkansas. The company has since expanded to become the largest global retailer, with more than 10,900 stores in 19 countries. The family owns approximately 41% of the company's shares, and trust funds associated with them control additional stakes. Walmart achieved revenues of $713.2 billion in the fiscal year 2026, with expanding investments in real estate and sports. In comparison, the British royal family's wealth does not come close to that of the Walton family, as the official royal assets are considered public property and not personally owned.
