Okay, so it isn't really happening but it does put into perspective just how rich the Walton family is. Using the assets of the world's largest fortune, they could purchase a few choice pieces of property across America. By using a city's combined property values to establish a sale cost for that community, the Walton's could start by purchasing some waterfront in the Pacific Northwest - Seattle for $111.5 billion.
But that would leave them with enough left over to afford some of the other cities. Beyond Seattle they could afford Dallas for $109.4 billion, Washington, D.C. for roughly the same, Miami for $92.8 billion, Portland for a billion less, Baltimore and Austin, Texas for $88.8 billion, Las Vegas for $86.5 billion, San Antonio for $85.8 billion and Atlanta for $78.1 billion.
I wanted to say something witty here involving Target or Mom & Pop business's, but I still trying to wrap my head around those numbers.
