Albert Buckman Wharton III (a.k.a. Bucky Wharton) is an American rancher.

Early life

Albert Buckman Wharton III grew up in Albuquerque, New Mexico.[1] He is the son of Albert Buckman Wharton, Jr., a.k.a. Buster Wharton, an heir to the Waggoner Ranch and polo player.[1][2][3] His mother was Buster Wharton's third wife.[1] His paternal grandmother was Electra Waggoner and his paternal grandfather, Albert Buckman Wharton.[1] His paternal great-grandfather was William Thomas Waggoner and his paternal great-great-grandfather, Daniel Waggoner.[1]

Wharton was educated at the Culver Military Academy in Indiana.[1] His father died when he was fifteen years old.[1] He attended the University of the Americas in Mexico City, Mexico.[1] He then served at Fort Bragg in North Carolina during the Vietnam War.[1] When he was discharged in 1970, he enrolled at Midwestern State University in Wichita Falls, Texas, where he went on to receive a Bachelor in Business Administration (B.B.A.).[1]

Career

Wharton inherited half the Waggoner Ranch in 1970, after his mother sued the estate for four years.[1] Indeed, his father had originally left his estate to his widow instead of him, an outcome his mother wouldn't accept.[1]

After multiple lawsuits, the ranch is listed for sale on the real estate market.[1][2][3]

Personal life

Wharton is married to Joline Wharton.[1] They have two children.[1] They reside on the Waggoner Ranch.[2]
