Sam Walton-While I’m not a fan of Wal-Mart, Sam Walton did more for bringing inexpensive goods to consumers than anyone in generations.   Samuel Moore “Sam” Walton was an American businessman and entrepreneur born in Kingfisher, Oklahoma, best known for founding the retailers Walmart and Sam’s Club. Before his death in 1992 he had a net worth of $23 Billion. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Walton
