Humility is Wal-Mart's watchword, which filters down from Mr. Sam. The billionaire, whose family owns 38% of the company's stock, lives in Bentonville with his wife Helen in a modest brick-and-wood ranch-style house.

Now entering her 34th year as an opposition M.P. (for some of that time the only one), she is among the leaders of the English-speaking minority. Other well-known members tend to pursue different lines of work: Golfer Gary Player, Novelist Nadine Gordimer, Dancer Juliet Prowse, Tennis Player Kevin Curren.
