richest-person-in-very-state-45

Alice Walton is an heir to the Wal-Mart fortune. Her father Sam founded the retailer back in 1962. With her billions, she has long focused on curating art, culminating in the opening of the Crystal Bridges Art Museum in her hometown of Bentonville, Ark., in 2011. In 2014, she reportedly agreed to purchase a New Jersey home designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and have it moved down to the museum’s campus.
Other staples of the collection include works from the likes of Andy Warhol, Norman Rockwell and Georgia O’Keeffe. Some of the pieces in the museum she donated from her personal collection, which is valued in the hundreds of millions of dollars. She’s also dabbled in political spending, mostly to the Republican party. In 2014 she donated $25,000 to establish a political super-PAC supporting a U.S. presidential bid by Hillary Clinton.
