Alice Walton, the daughter of Walmart founder Sam Walton, has officially surpassed Françoise Bettencourt Meyers to become the richest woman in the world in 2024. According to Bloomberg's Billionaires Index, Walton's net worth has soared to an astounding $95 billion, making her the first female centi-billionaire in history. This impressive milestone is largely attributed to the significant increase in Walmart's stock price, which has risen by 44% this year, adding $25 billion to Walton's wealth.
