Wal-Mart is a publically traded company. No one owns it unless they acquire 100% of the outstanding shares. So, Sam Walton's kids never owned Wal-Mart.
No they haven't "sold out". They still have a significant portion of their wealth (around 15 billion each x 4 kids) in Wal-Mart stock.

It's still family owned but no longer run by the family members... hasn't been for a long time. They own the majority of the stock but have opted to let someone else handle the business end of it. I use to work for Sam's Club and we were told that there was actually some type of clause that does not allow the family to sell more than a certain amount of the stock so that the majority will always remain in the hands of the family.

It is still owned by the Walton's family but its a corporation that is run by someone not blood, but considered part of the family by Sam. Sam chose him to take over for him. It's not a family business, but Sam was a very family oriented person. So he left ownership to them, but as a business minded person, found someone he respected to take over.
