Sam Walton

Sam Walton, the legendary founder of Walmart and Sam’s Club, built the world’s largest retail empire from humble beginnings. Born in Oklahoma during the Great Depression, Walton learned discipline, frugality, and grit early in life. His first store venture in 1945 was a success—until he lost it all when his lease was taken away. Instead of giving up, he started over, driven by one radical mission: sell more for less. In 1962, he opened the first Walmart in Rogers, Arkansas, focused on everyday low prices, efficiency, and serving small-town America. His relentless obsession with cost-cutting, customer satisfaction, and expansion transformed Walmart into a global powerhouse. By the time of his death in 1992, Walton had a net worth of $8.6 billion (around $18 billion today). His story is a timeless example of vision, resilience, and how simple ideas executed with discipline can change the world.
