If Hillary Clinton decides to run for president in 2016, she'll have a formidable ally in Alice Walton, the billionaire philanthropist who has known the Clintons since their days in the Arkansas state house. Walton, daughter of Walmart founder Sam Walton, is reportedly among a number of billionaires who recently formed a political action committee to help raise funds for a potential Clinton run. Walton's passion remains art, not politics, though. Her Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville, Ark. includes works from icons like Andy Warhol, Norman Rockwell and Georgia O'Keeffe. Some pieces she donated from her personal collection (valued in the hundreds of millions of dollars). As the biggest philanthropist of the Walton family, Alice gave more than $2 million in 2012 to support charter school initiatives. She and her siblings have also donated about $2 billion to the Walton Family Foundation over the last five years.
