About Rob Walton & family
Rob Walton is the eldest son of Walmart founder Sam Walton.
Walton took over as chairman upon his father's death in 1992.
He retired as chairman in June 2015 and was replaced by his son-in-law, Greg Penner. Penner still sits on Walmart's board.
He and other heirs of Sam Walton collectively own about half of Walmart's stock.
In June 2022, a group led by Walton agreed to buy the NFL's Denver Broncos for $4.7 billion--a record for a sports franchise.
