From Warehouse Worker to \$27 Million CEO: Walmart's Doug McMillon's Inspiring Rise

Walmart CEO Doug McMillon's inspiring journey from warehouse worker to the top: From \$6.50 an hour to a \$27 million salary. Doug McMillon's career began in 1984 at Walmart, starting as a warehouse worker unloading trailers for \$6.50 per hour. His dedication and commitment to his team led him to climb the corporate ladder, eventually becoming the youngest CEO in Walmart's history. Today, he leads the retail giant, which once again tops the Fortune 500 list with over \$680 billion in revenue. McMillon credits his success to his willingness to always help his team and to admit when he doesn't know the answer to a problem. "I kept volunteering," McMillon said in a 2017 Duke University interview, "I would find myself in these situations where sometimes I didn't know the answer, but I got comfortable saying, 'I don't know, but I'll find out and I'll get back to you quickly.'" His story is a testament to hard work, dedication, and a collaborative leadership style, making it an inspiring example for aspiring business leaders.
