My Take
It would be easy to reduce Alice Walton to a number, the richest woman in the world, a Walmart heiress. But what interests me is the choice she made with that fortune. By building a serious art museum in rural Arkansas, she pulled masterworks out of coastal institutions and put them within reach of people who'd never otherwise see them. Philanthropy is often vanity dressed as virtue, yet this feels like a real conviction about access. I respect a collector whose eye is as serious as her checkbook, and who bet on her hometown rather than her own prestige.
