I remember reading about the Walmart IPO in Sam Walton's autobiography (an excellent book!) but I don't think he gave specific numbers. I think he owned pretty close to all of the company, but was in a lot of debt. He wrote that he was very worried about what his wife was going to say when she found out after he signed the deal to do the IPO :). There may have been a few store managers that had a small interest in the company, though.
