Biography
Lukas Walton is a grandson of Walmart founder Sam Walton (d. 1992).
He inherited a fortune when his father, John Walton, died in a 2005 plane crash.
He received about one third of his father's estate; his mother, Christy Walton, got about one sixth.
He owns stakes in Walmart and his family's $27 billion (assets) Arvest Bank Group, though he does not work for either company.
He founded and runs Builders Vision, a sustainability-focused philanthropic and impact-investing platform that has doled out more than $3 billion since launching in 2021.
