Their global headquarters are in Arkansas: https://www.swagroup.com/stories/walmart-global-headquarters-arkansas/

And even back in 2020 they were making ridiculous amounts of money:
"The family are among the wealthiest dynasties in the world, earning US$70,000 per minute and US$4 million every hour, according to Bloomberg.

“At that rate, their wealth would’ve expanded about US$23,000 since you began reading this,” the website explains. “A new Walmart associate in the US would’ve made about six cents in that time, on the way to an US$11 hourly minimum.”"

But oh, I forgot: all risk is to be public; all profit is to be private. I guess at $4 million an hour they can't really be expected to help their neighbors....
