  The Walton family fortune is considerably larger. Only 2 Walton's make the top 10, but there are 6 Walton billionaires, for a total of $175 billion. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walton_family http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walton_family

    Before the fiscal cliff, WMT moved their dividend pay date forward by a few days so that the Waltons could pay 2012 cap gains on their dividend. They saved over 100 million in tax on ONE single dividend. This level of wealth is almost beyond comprehension.
