Look up Bill Laurie. He's not famous for anything other than marrying one of Sam Walton's 5 daughters. (Stan Kroenke is another one - got his $$ by marrying a Walton heiress)

Laurie has been Mizzou's biggest booster. On the level of the Peed family. He funded their basketball arena a few yrs ago. They've got other big money boosters too of course.

I have a friend that has Mizzou connections and he says that once NIL got rolling the Mizzou boosters told Drinkwitz "money is no object." It's not a coincidence that the first couple yrs of Drinkwitz era the guy looked like a perpetual 5-7 coach.....now they are "magically" a top 10 team. The "magic" is called paying a shit ton of NIL $$$ on better players.

They will be a factor in the 12 team CFP era. Unless their booster money dries up. There's a reason they were in it with Ryan Wingo (the ultimate bag chaser) until the last minute. Until he chose Texas, the ultimate bag provider.
Those are actually Sam Waltons nieces his brother Buds two daughters but still heirs though.

Heirs include Sam's three living children Rob, Jim, and Alice. Daughter in Law Christy her son Lucas and Buds two daughters Ann and Nancy. Worth 247 Billion according to this article -

Yeah Sam Walton and his brother have a lot of female heiresses. So all of the Walmart money is running around now with different last names - names like Kroenke and Laurie.

There's a fuckload of that money in our sports landscape, but since it's not the Walton name people don't notice it.

One of Walmarts old CEOs used to own the Royals too David Glass.
