    Richest Texans

    DFW billionaire retains crown as richest person in Texas for 2019, Forbes says

    Walmart heiress Alice Walton of Fort Worth remains the richest person in Texas, according to the newly released Forbes 400 ranking. What’s really astounding, though, is that her estimated net worth skyrocketed by more than $6 billion in just one year.

    Forbes pegged Walton’s estimated net worth at $51.4 billion, making her the 11th richest person in the country and the richest person in the Lone Star State. When Forbes published its 2018 ranking of America’s billionaires, her net worth stood at $44.9 billion. Between 2018 and 2019, that’s a difference of $6.5 billion. By comparison, Forbes estimates the entire net worth for pipeline heiress Randa Duncan Williams of Houston, who recently bought Texas Monthly magazine, at $6.3 billion.

    Behind Walton among Texas’ wealthiest residents is Michael Dell of Austin. The founder, chairman, and CEO of Round Rock-based Dell Technologies notches a net worth of $32.3 billion, according to Forbes. That puts him at No. 18 on the list of America’s billionaires.

    Holding down third place in Texas and 48th place in the U.S. is Dallas banker and real estate titan Andy Beal, with an estimated net worth of $9.8 billion.

    This year, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones got muscled out of the No. 4 spot in Texas by Stan Kroenke, whose professional sports holdings include the NFL’s Los Angeles Rams.

    The estimated net worth of Kroenke, who owns a 520,000-acre ranch west of Wichita Falls, is $9.7 billion, compared with $8.6 billion for Jones. That puts Kroenke in 49th place among the richest Americans. Kroenke, whose residence previously had been listed as Columbia, Missouri, bought the ranch in 2016; the list price was $725 million.

    With Kroenke’s apparent relocation to Texas, Jones dropped this year to No. 5 on the list of the richest Texans and No. 56 among the richest Americans.

    By the way, Kroenke’s wife, Walmart heiress Ann Walton Kroenke — also now apparently a Texan, according to Forbes — is tied for sixth place in the ranking of Texas billionaires. She shares that spot with Houston pipeline mogul Richard Kinder. Forbes estimates they’re each worth $7.5 billion, putting them both at No. 67 on the national wealth ladder.

    Besides Jones and Beal, Walton keeps company in North Texas with fellow billionaires Robert Rowling, Ray Lee Hunt, Kelcy Warren, Margot Birmingham Perot, Mark Cuban, Trevor Rees-Jones, W. Herbert Hunt, Ray Davis, Gerald Ford, H. Ross Perot Jr., David Bonderman, and four members of the famous Bass family — Edward, Robert, Sid, and Lee.

    Here's a closer look at Texans who made it onto this year’s Forbes 400, in order of ranking:

    • The aforementioned Randa Duncan Williams and her siblings Dannine Avara, Scott Duncan, and Milane Frantz, all of whom live in Houston. Each boasts an estimated net worth of $6.3 billion, tying them for the eighth place in Texas and 100th place nationally.

    Dallas Animal Services assistant director Amanda Earl

    Dallas' animal shelter has hired a well-regarded animal professional to be second in command: According to a release, Dallas Animal Services (DAS) has appointed Amanda Earl to serve as the newest Assistant Director of Dallas Animal Services, effective November 17.

    Earl brings more than 26 years of leadership in animal services, municipal operations, and animal welfare. She recently served as the Executive Director of the Darlington County Humane Society, where she secured funding to build a surgical suite and helped establish operational procedures for a new 14,000-square-foot shelter facility.

    Her leadership experience includes roles with the cities of Lewisville, Grand Prairie, Hurst, Richardson, Farmers Branch, and Mesquite, as well as the SPCA of Texas.

    Throughout her career, she has demonstrated exceptional expertise in shelter operations, animal welfare, community engagement, and organizational leadership. Amanda has also contributed to the advancement of animal welfare across Texas through her service on multiple advisory boards and coalitions, including the Texas Animal Shelter Coalition, Plano and Lewisville Animal Services Advisory Committee, Hurst Animal Services Advisory Committee, and Texas Unites for Animals.

    She holds several professional certifications, including TDSHS Basic, Advanced and Administrative Animal Control Officer Certifications, Certified Animal Euthanasia Technician, Fear Free Shelter Certification, and the prestigious Certified Animal Welfare Administrator (CAWA) credential.

    Known for her collaborative leadership and ability to build strong partnerships, Amanda will lead DAS' Field Services, Cruelty Investigations, Medical Operations, and Shelter Operations.

    Earl joins DAS director Paul Ramon, who has worked at the shelter since 2022. She replaces Mary Martin, the former, also highly-regarded Assistant Director, who departed in March 2025 to become the Director of Riverside County Department of Animal Services in California.
