A lice Walton is an American heiress to the fortune of Walmart, the world's largest retailer. She is the only daughter of Walmart's visionary founder, Sam Walton. Unlike her brothers, Rob and Jim, who have been actively involved in running the company, Alice has focused her career primarily on finance, art curation, and philanthropy. After a brief career as an equity analyst and broker, she founded her own investment bank, Llama Company, in the late 1980s.

While her immense wealth is derived from her substantial stake in Walmart, Alice Walton is perhaps best known publicly for her passion for art. In 2011, she founded the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville, Arkansas, the family's hometown. She has personally curated and funded the museum's impressive collection, which has become one of the premier institutions for American art in the United States. In recent years, she has also focused on philanthropy in health, establishing the Whole Health Institute in Bentonville to promote holistic approaches to wellness.
