It is a corporation with stock holders, anyone can buy stock in the firm, but most of it owned by Sam Walton's kids. |

The founder was sam walton. He incorporated wal-mart, and his heirs own the bulk of the corporation. |

I believe it is owned by the Walton family.
Not the Walton's from the TV show. You're probably too young to remember that anyways.

The Walton Family owns WalMart, and high up CEO's have stock ownership as well. Sams Club is a company made from WalMart. And Walmart is the same company that distributes their brand Ol Roy. So technically you are both right. |

It is owned by shareholders. However, the top individual shareholder is the estate of John T. Walton. The estate owns 11,946,268 shares or about 0.3% of the 4.11B outstanding shares.
However, Barclays Global Investors UK Holdings Ltd has 115,500,265 shares or about 2.8%. However, this ownership is actually of Barclays' customers.
So, neither of you is exactly right. It's owned by a bunch of shareholders. It's just that the Walton family happens to own a few million shares. |

Sams Club is a subsidiary of Wal-Mart Stores (WMT). Tthis means that Wal-Mart owns Sams, not the other way around. And, if you have any type of 401(k) at work or other retirement accounts, you probably own a small portion of Wal-Mart which one of the largest companies in the world. |

Walton, Christopher J. Williams, and Linda S. Wolf.

Sams is owned by Walmart.
Walmart is publically traded company and owned by the public, although the majority of the shares are owned by the John Walton Trust (40%) |

Sam Walton has been dead for 15 years. He founded the company in Arkansas. It is now a public corporation with stocks being traded on the stock market.
The wal-mart corporation operates Wal-Mart retail stores and the same corporation operates Sam's Club Warehouse membership stores. One doesn't "own" the other.
Most of the shares are owned by members of the Walton family, but as with any corporation, legally it is owned by the shareholders as a whole. |

It doesn't answer your question but Wal-Mart has many international interests. It owns the Asda chain of supermarkets here in UK who proudly advertise the fact that they are "part of the Wal-Mart family" |
