Read about her on the Face of Philanthropy site, and noticed that its a stub on Wiki. Thought I might contribute, so I'm going to be WP:BOLD and expand on this page. Also I've removed some recent vandalism. Sir. Somerset (talk) 22:08, 15 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Added a Philanthropic Activity section, hope its up to standard. Sir. Somerset (talk) 00:22, 16 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Are the numbers correct?

I'm looking at the numbers here, and there must be some mistake when the article mentions that she gave $3.5 M of her $16.3 B fortune to charity between 2002 and 2006. As a proportion of her wealth this amounts to 0.0002147 (just over 2 hundredths of one percent) - a very tiny proportion. In fact, this would be like a person with $100,000 in wealth making a contribution of $21.47, which is actually far below what most people would contribute to charity - typical contributions would be at least 10 times what her proportion is purported here to be.

As I said, there must be something wrong with the numbers. If not, then the term "philanthropist" would need to modified in some respect.

Does anyone know if these are indeed the correct numbers?

Wealth overstated

Christy Walton is not the wealthiest woman, or 6th wealthiest person in the USA. As the article states "she and her family (not including her two brothers-in-law and a sister-in-law) had an estimated net worth of $36.7 billion". The wealth is shared amongst a number of people, not her alone.Royalcourtier (talk) 22:10, 10 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Real time net worth

Is it possible to automatically change the net worth to whatever it says here http://www.forbes.com/billionaires/list/#version:realtime or can it only be done manually --88.111.129.157 (talk) 20:04, 17 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
