Glass, who grew up in Mountain View, Mo., graduated from then-Southwest Missouri State University in 1960 with a degree in business accounting. After working for various organizations in the Springfield area, he took a job with Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. in Bentonville, Ark. in 1976. In 1984, he was appointed president and chief operating officer.

Glass was promoted to chief executive officer of Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. in 1988, a position he held until 2000. After stepping down from his position at Wal-Mart, Glass became the sole owner of the Kansas City Royals Major League baseball team.
