About Me

Christy Walton married into what is now the richest family in the world: Walmart's Walton clan. She inherited a stake in the retailer when her husband, John Walton, died in a 2005 plane crash. Christy received about one sixth of her husband's estate; her son, Lukas Walton, got about one third. She was one of the biggest backers of the Lincoln Project, an anti-Trump super-PAC that ran ads in battleground states during the 2020 campaign. She leads a very private life in Jackson, Wyoming.
