We recently asked if you could name the richest person in Texas. So, can you name the richest woman in Texas? The answer should be yes, because Alice Walton, of the Wal-Mart family, is both the richest person and the richest woman in the Lone Star State, according to Movoto.
She’s almost the richest woman in the country, with a net worth of $35.5 billion. (Whoa.)
Women with more wealth are Elizabeth Koch in Kansas ($36 bil); Alice’s relative Christy Walton in Wyoming ($37.6 bil); and Astrid Menks in Nebraska ($66.1 bil). If Movoto’s numbers are correct, Menks has nearly $10 billion more than her spouse, Warren Buffett.
Nearly all 50 women on the map are billionaires. You go, girls!
