☆ The Walton family empire: Inside the relatively modest lives of the Walmart heirs
  + stars: | 2023-04-15 | by ( Rachel Askinasi | Mary Hanbury | Ben Tobin | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +1 min
The Walmart heirs' combined worth is roughly $234 billion, according to Bloomberg. The family grants money and resources to support education, environmental efforts, and their home community through the Walton Family Foundation. In public, the Waltons live pretty modest lifestyles despite their wealth. Sam Walton, the original man behind the company that now encompasses both Walmart and Sam's Club, set his family up for financial success when he divided the ownership before he died. He wasn't a man of flashy luxury, but you can see how his children are living a slightly more lavish life now.
☆ The overturn of Roe v. Wade has been a catastrophe for Republican attempts to win over Gen Z
  + stars: | 2023-02-06 | by ( Madison Hall | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
The GOP win in getting the Supreme Court to strip abortion rights didn't sit well with young voters. For the survey, Murmuration polled 3,227 15 to 25-year-olds (members of Gen Z) and 1,036 adults aged 26 or older. The Gen Z survey had a 1.7% margin of error, while the survey of adults aged 26 years or older had one of 3%. Aside from "other," which also garnered 29%, abortion access was by far the most pressing issue amongst Gen Z. Since the Supreme Court punted abortion rights back to a state-to-state basis, referendums and constitutional amendments restricting abortion access will continue to pop up.
☆ Inside the $4 billion family office of Walmart Heir Lukas Walton
  + stars: | 2022-09-19 | by ( Robert Frank | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +4 min
Lukas Walton, the billionaire grandson of Walmart founder Sam Walton, is reinventing the family office — building a multi-billion-dollar funding machine that powers charities, tech start-ups, public companies and activists seeking global change. Walton, 36, last year launched Builders Vision, a one-stop-shop of impact investing based in Chicago with more than $4 billion in assets. While most family offices separate philanthropy and investing, Walton has stitched them together into an impact-investing superstore – funding social and environmental causes through start-ups, public companies or charities. The Builders Vision venture capital fund, called S2G, is in the top quartile of venture capital funds by returns, according to Cambridge Associates benchmarks. Climate change, the food supply and ocean health are, after all, also investment risks, he said.
☆ Gen Z mistrusts everything — big business, government, other people, you name it

With that question, The Washington Post's technology columnist, Taylor Lorenz, kicked off a recent Aspen Institute panel entitled "Can Gen Z Trust Their Elders?" Across the board, members of Gen Z are less inclined to trust major institutions than their elders are. Add all these factors up, and Gen Z is looking more and more like it will become permanently mistrustful. Why doesn't Gen Z trust anyone? According to a report by Edelman, seven in 10 members of Gen Z say "they will fact-check" any claim made by a business or advertiser.
☆ Meet Lukas Walton, the fiercely private heir to the Walmart empire who has donated millions from his fortune to find solutions to environmental problems
  + stars: | 2020-02-20 | by ( Ben Tobin | Ryder Kimball | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: 1 min
On the foundation's work, Lukas recalled that "one of the first grants that we did back in the day was help to develop a sustainable fisheries label. That to me, was a shooting star, was a golden emblem of what would be a successful marketplace development." The Walton Family Foundation has focused their efforts on the places that support humans.
