Austin's Elon Musk and Michael Dell are the richest people in Texas, but Dallas-Fort Worth billionaires are not far behind, according to the newForbes 400, a list of the 400 richest people in the United States for 2023.

Walmart heiress Alice Walton of Fort Worth is the third-richest Texan, the most affluent person in DFW, and the wealthiest woman in America, Forbes says.

"Walton, who had been the nation’s wealthiest woman for seven years before 2022, added $10.8 billion to her fortune since last year after a 26 percent rise in Walmart stock," the report says. "[Julia] Koch, who got a $3.8 billion wealthier, is now the second-richest woman in the country, worth an estimated $59.8 billion."

According to Forbes, Walton's net worth in 2023 is estimated at $66.5 billion, which is much closer to her 2021 net worth of $67.9 billion. Walton, 74, the only daughter of Walmart founder Sam Walton, now focuses primarily on her Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville, Arkansas, but Forbes lists her place of residence as Fort Worth.

Forbes' list, published October 3, is a definitive ranking of the wealthiest Americans, using interviews, financial data, and documentation provided by billionaires and their companies.

According to the report, America's elite class is now worth $4.5 trillion total, which ties a record previously set in 2021.

Unsurprisingly, Musk ranks No. 1 nationally, with a net worth of $251 billion.
