Donna Morris' base pay is not public but just 2024 her BONUS ALONE was $8 million. And based on current market price her Walmart stock grants is worth $53 million.

Vickers went out on a limb and built their own tank in 1963. And a bunch of countries decided something tough and simple was exactly what they wanted.
