Extremely Pricey Items Sold at Walmart

Walmart prides itself on a core company value of relentless commitment to its customers, centered on a fundamental principle of “saving people money so they can live better.” This commitment dates back to the early days of Walmart and Sam Walton, its founder.

The Wealthiest Family in America Ironically Founded the Store Known for its Low Prices

Over six decades of growth and expansion, Walmart claims to have remained loyal to Walton’s “Everyday Low Prices” philosophy. Walton believes that Walmart associates are responsible for making a difference for its customers and business performance.

Today, Walton’s descendants are worth a combined wealth of $163.2 billion, according to Bloomberg’s Billionaires List. That is more than Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates and Warren Buffett. The Walton’s are worth over $70 billion, which is more than the second-richest family in the United States, the Kochs.

Unlike other businesses, Sam Walton started Walmart to save people money to live better lives. Walmart remains loyal to its philosophy of low prices, but surprisingly, some extremely high-price items are available there. Searching for the most expensive items for sale at Walmart will blow your mind.

Walmart: A Place of Many Different Items and Prices 

Walmart has a wide rand of items available to its customers, and as you’ve learned today, a wide range of prices. 56% of Walmart’s sales are food items, and in 2019, the U.S. segment of Walmart alone generated over 331 billion U.S. dollars, which amounts to 65% of total sales.

However, food is obviously not the only thing generating money for Walmart. When Walmart started, they were the store for the average person with the average paycheck. Now, times have changed, and people with higher-paying salaries can invest in some high-end products from Walmart. 

Walmart will forever be known as the store for cheap items such as diapers, baby wipes, clothes, kids’ shoes and toys. It will never be high-end jewelry, electronics, or home decor store. It was intended to be and always will be a discount department store.

You may be wondering—is Walmart really committed to their customers and their savings? Can the store that Paris Hilton famously thought sold walls expect to sell a diamond tennis bracelet for nearly $80,000? The average Walmart customer definitely does not have access to that much money, but who knows, someone who is willing to spend that much money at their local Walmart could be out there somewhere
