Wal-Mart founder Sam Walton's youngest son Jim is said to be the quietest. At one time it was reported he did not sit on the Wal-Mart board of directors (nor that of any other company), however, this has changed and he now sits on the board of Wal-Mart, filling the vacancy left by his older brother, John, who died tragically in an aircraft accident in 2005. He rarely, if ever, grants press interviews. He also runs Arvest Bank, the family's savings and loan operation, serving as both Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. (wiki)
