The heirs to the Walmart fortune are on the cusp of passing the $100 billion mark thanks to the retailer’s stock soaring 40% this year.

Founder Sam Walton’s three surviving children — Jim, Rob, and Alice — were worth $95.6 billion, $93.4 billion, and $92.7 billion respectively at the time of writing. They’ve each gained over $22 billion in wealth this year.
