The world’s richest family are worth an eye-watering $470 billion and own some of the biggest sporting teams in the world.<\/strong><\/p>\n

While Elon Musk might be the richest individual on Earth, his kids aren\u2019t exactly running football clubs.<\/p>\n

But when it comes to raw, generational wealth, no one\u2019s touching the Walton dynasty, heirs to the Walmart<\/a> empire, especially when you factor in their connection to the Kroenke sports<\/a> juggernaut through marriage.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

If you combine the massive fortunes of the Walton family, an eye-watering $449.8 billion, and sports tycoon Stan Kroenke’s $21.3 billion fortune, who married into the clan, you\u2019re looking at a colossal $470.1 billion power union.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s more money than the GDP of most countries – literally.<\/p>\n

The story of where the Waltons’ fortune comes from is one that every American will be familiar with.<\/p>\n

In 1962, brothers Sam and Bud Walton opened the first Walmart store in Arkansas with the aim of offering unbeatable prices at their discount store.<\/p>\n

Fast forward to today, Walmart<\/a> is a global retail beast with over 10,000 stores and a market influence that\u2019s practically unmatched.<\/p>\n

Despite their obscene wealth, the Waltons are notoriously low-key. They don\u2019t flaunt it like some billionaires, but the moves they make speak volumes, especially in the world<\/a> of sport.<\/p>\n

In 2022, the family bought the NFL’s Denver Broncos for a record-breaking $4.7 billion, with Greg Penner – Sam Walton\u2019s grandson-in-law – now leading the charge as the team\u2019s CEO.<\/p>\n

But that is just the tip of the iceberg, with Kroenke marrying into the clan through Ann Walton. Of course, Kroenke has ties to a sporting empire that includes soccer<\/a> Premier League giants Arsenal, the NFL\u2019s LA Rams, the NBA\u2019s<\/a> Denver Nuggets, and the NHL\u2019s Colorado Avalanche, and Colorado Avalanche, with the latter held in Ann’s name.<\/p>\n

Kroenke also owns NLL’s (National Lacrosse League) Colorado Mammoth.<\/p>\n

The net worth of the Waltons on Forbes is as follows: Rob Walton & Family, $123.8 billion; Jim Walton & Family, $121.2 billion; Alice Walton, $112.5 billion; Lukas Walton, $41.8 billion; Christy Walton, $20.7 billion; Nancy Walton Laurie, $16.6 billion; Ann Walton Kroenke, $13.2 billion; Stanley Kroenke, $21.3 billion.<\/p>\n

Yes, that’s an incredible eight people in the family making it onto Forbes’ real time billionaire list – with their offspring also notably being worth millions themselves too.<\/p>\n

While the Waltons made their name through Walmart, they’re certainly diversifying their wealth these days.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
