Building & Sustaining a Family Office


By Cheryl Grimaldi

There’s nothing quite like learning from families who have truly mastered the art of building and sustaining a family office—and the Walton family stands at the very top of that list.

They’ve done it better than just about anyone else.

What’s especially compelling is that the Waltons intentionally modeled their family office approach after the Rockefeller family—and then evolved it for a modern, global world. The result is a structure that balances discipline, governance, flexibility, and long-term purpose with remarkable effectiveness.

This CNBC article is a fantastic read. It offers meaningful insight into how leading families think about stewardship, decision-making, and longevity—and why asking the right questions matters far more than focusing solely on short-term results.

For anyone working within, alongside, or aspiring to the family office space, this article is an excellent example of what thoughtful, intentional wealth management looks like when it’s done well.
