Clark Hunt is an American businessman who has a net worth of $2 billion. He is best-known for being the primary-owner, Chairman and CEO of the Kansas City Chiefs NFL team. He is also a founding owner of Major League Soccer and its FC Dallas. Clark inherited his wealth. His grandfather H.L. Hunt earned a fortune in the Texas oil fields. According to legend, H.L. earned the money needed to buy his first oil fields through poker bets. After a handful of acquisitions, he ultimately owned the majority of the East Texas Oil Field. In 1948 he was considered the richest person in the US. At the time of his death in 1975 he was one of the richest people in the world, with a net worth of $400 – 700 million. That’s the same as $2.1 – $3.7 billion in today’s dollars. H.L. Hunt had 15 children by three women.
H.L. Hunt’s son son Lamar (Clark’s father) was a founder of the American Football League and part owner in a team that was then called the Dallas Texans. After the AFL and NFL merged, the Dallas Texans were rendered moot by the Dallas Cowboys. So, Lamar moved the team to Kansas City where it remains today.
Clark Hunt was born in Dallas, Texas in February 1965. Today he is the chairman of the Hunt Sports Group and oversees the soccer club FC Dallas. He started out his career with Goldman Sachs as an analyst.
Clark and his three siblings inherited the team upon their father’s death in 2006.
Today the Kansas City Chiefs are worth $2.5 billion.
Clark is married to Tavia Shackles a former Miss Missouri Teen USA and Miss Kansas USA. They have three children.
