"She inherited $116 billion she never earned—then chose to give it all away to people the world forgot. Alice Walton was born into unimaginable wealth. Her father, Sam Walton, built Walmart from a single Arkansas store into the largest retailer on Earth. When he died in 1992, Alice inherited billions in stock—money that would grow into one of the largest fortunes in human history. She could have lived like most heirs do. Private islands. Car collections gathering dust. A life of beautiful irrelevance hidden behind gates. Instead, she made a choice that changed everything. In 2011, in Bentonville, Arkansas—a town of 50,000, hours from any major city—Alice opened Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art. Inside those walls hang masterpieces most people only see in textbooks. Norman Rockwell. Georgia O'Keeffe. Andy Warhol. Jackson Pollock. The kind of art that usually lives in Manhattan penthouses behind $30 admission fees. Alice's admission price? Free. For everyone. Forever. Think about what that means. A child in rural Arkansas can stand inches from a Winslow Homer seascape without anyone asking if her family can afford it. A grandmother who worked the Walmart floor for thirty years can spend her afternoon surrounded by beauty supposedly never meant for people like her. Since 2011, over 14 million people have walked through those doors. Many had never been to an art museum before. Then Alice made another choice. In 2025, she opened the Alice L. Walton School of Medicine in Bentonville. Not in Boston or New York where medical schools cluster like jewelry stores. In rural Arkansas. With one mission: train doctors for places where hospitals close, where the nearest emergency room is an hour away, where medical care is something you hope you never need because you can't access it. The first five classes? Full scholarships. Zero tuition. Here's what's complicated: Alice didn't earn this money. Walmart paid many workers wages so low they qualified for food stamps. The company helped hollow out small-town America, closing the mom-and-pop stores that once anchored communities. That's true. It doesn't stop being true. But here's what's also true: When handed $116 billion she did nothing to create, Alice had a choice. She could have protected it. Grown it to $200 billion for reasons no human being needs. She could have bought influence, power, silence. Instead, she asked: What does rural America need that nobody's giving them? Beauty. Culture. Doctors. Does this solve wealth inequality? No. Does it address Walmart's labor practices? No. Does it make her fortune ethically simple? Absolutely not. But it proves something else. Even inherited wealth comes with a choice. You can hoard it, or you can ask what it might build. Alice looked at small-town Arkansas and saw what coastal elites never see: communities full of people who deserve beauty, culture, and healthcare just as much as anyone in Manhattan. She didn't bring them another Walmart. She brought them a museum. A medical school. A chance to see themselves in spaces that usually pretend they don't exist. There's a Norman Rockwell painting at Crystal Bridges showing a grandmother and child looking at art. That painting is now in Arkansas, where grandmothers and children who look like them can stand before it and see themselves seeing art. That's not an accident. That's a choice. So here's the question: If you inherited a fortune you didn't earn—what would you build? Because that answer tells you everything about what you value. Some people would build walls. Alice Walton built doors. She built them in places most people with her wealth would never visit. She built them for people who were never supposed to walk through. And she left them open. Does that redeem the source of the wealth? That's for you to decide. But it does prove this: When you have more money than you could spend in a thousand lifetimes, you can choose to be a gatekeeper or a bridge. Alice Walton chose to build bridges where bridges rarely get built. And millions of people have walked across them into rooms filled with beauty they were told wasn't for them. That won't solve everything. But it matters. #InspiringChange #BuildingBridges"

"Bentonville is home to a 120-acre art lover’s dream. Situated in Northwest Arkansas, the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art first opened in 2011 and was designed by Moshe Safdie, architect and great uncle to Josh and Benny Safdie of “Uncut Gems” fame. The project was founded by Alice Walton, art collector and daughter of Sam Walton who famously founded Walmart, headquartered in Bentonville. Expect to see artists like Jackson Pollock, Andrew Wyeth, Chuck Close, Jasper Johns and Norman Rockwell in the permanent collection here alongside rotating exhibitions like “Annie Leibowitz at Work” and “Seeing One Another: New View on the Alfred Steiglitz Collection.” As a bonus, admission to the museum is free, with special exhibitions costing just $12. When you finish up, head over to the Momentary, an accompanying contemporary art campus where you can see live music, gallery exhibitions and skyline views at the Tower Bar."
