C lark Hunt is an American sports executive and the chairman and CEO of the National Football League's Kansas City Chiefs. He is an heir to the vast oil fortune created by his grandfather, the legendary Texas oil tycoon H.L. Hunt. Clark's father, Lamar Hunt, was a visionary sports entrepreneur who founded the American Football League (AFL), coined the term 'Super Bowl', and was a founding investor in Major League Soccer.
After his father's death, Clark and his siblings inherited the family's sports holdings. As the public face of the ownership group, Clark has overseen the most successful period in the history of the Kansas City Chiefs, guiding the franchise to multiple Super Bowl victories. In addition to the Chiefs, he is also the chairman of Hunt Sports Group, which operates the MLS team FC Dallas. His wealth is a combination of his inherited oil fortune and the massive appreciation in the value of the sports franchises his father founded.
