Location: Bentonville, AK Restaurant: Eleven. Alice Walton was just recently named "the world's richest woman." Her father, Sam Walton, started with one five-and-dime store in rural Arkansas and grew it into one of the most successful business stories of all time: Walmart. His only daughter, Alice, has used her immense wealth for philanthropic endeavors her entire life but it wasn't until she really leaned into her personal passion that her life changed so dramatically. On November 11, 2011, Alice opened the Crystal Bridges Art Museum in Bentonville, Arkansas, bringing a world-class art museum to a corner of the world that had never seen anything like it. Alice has continued her mission to champion art for rural areas with her Art Bridges Foundation and Alice L. Walton Foundation. From a table at Eleven, her favorite restaurant in Bentonville, Alice shares her incredible journey as part of one of the world's richest families and why art is her North star and why she believes so passionately in the ability of art to heal and inspire.
