The Hunt family, one of the wealthiest in America with an estimated worth of $24.8 billion by Forbes in 2024, traces their fortune back to oil tycoon H.L. Hunt. The family has owned the Kansas City Chiefs since they were founded as the Dallas Texans in 1959. Current CEO Clark Hunt continues his father's legacy, expressing how thrilled his father would be about the Chiefs' potential third Super Bowl victory. Their wealth and influence extend far beyond football, deeply rooted in oil production and investments across several states.
Ahead of Sunday's big game, Clark Hunt told 'The Rich Eisen Show' that his father, who died in 2006, 'would be absolutely thrilled' about the prospect of a Chiefs Super Bowl three-peat, adding, 'He would be beyond words.'
The Hunt family's dynasty extends much further than football. Their real story actually begins with American oil tycoon H.L. Hunt.
In 1964, The New York Times reported that almost 30 years after H.L. Hunt founded the Hunt Oil Company, his family had an estimated fortune of $700 million (around $7 billion in today's money).
Forbes estimated in 2024 that the Hunt family was worth $24.8 billion, reflecting their significant wealth accrued from early investments in oil.
