Walmart heiress Alice Walton has once again taken the title of the richest woman in the world.
According to Forbes, Walton has dethroned French L'Oreal heiress Francoise Bettencourt Meyers to become the richest woman on the planet for the first time since 2022.
Walton, 74, is the only daughter of the late Walmart founder Sam Walton.
Walton's estimated fortune is now $89.1 billion and Meyers' is $88.4 billion, Forbes says.
