We’ve talked about her here on Ealuxe.com when we put together a top of the wealthiest females in the world. (You can see the top here)
She was the wife of the late John T. Walton who was the son of the late Walmart founder Sam Walton. Christy and John had one child together, a son named Lukas.
Because her husband died she inherited his fortune of $15.7 billion dollars made up mostly of Walmart stock.
But she also owns a stake in a solar power company First Solar which her late husband founded before his death.
Walton currently resides in Jackson, Wyoming but has properties around the world.
