Kenneth 'Ken' B. Dart is an American-born businessman and investor, the self-made billionaire Owner of Dart Container Corporation (foam cups/packaging) and the Founder of Dart Enterprises (real estate and investment). His wealth is generational, tied to the industrial empire founded by his father, William F. Dart, in the 1930s (and the modern foam cup). Born in 1955 in Mason, Michigan, his career is defined by contrarian investment and aggressive tax planning.

Dart graduated from the University of Michigan with a degree in Engineering and an MBA from the University of Michigan Ross School of Business. His early career began in finance, managing the family's investment portfolio. His philosophy centers on maximizing financial privacy and long-term asset protection (often in the face of complex legal challenges).

• Dart Container Corporation (Family Heir): The foundational source of his wealth, the global leader in foam cups, containers, and single-use packaging. He and his brother Robert Dart control the private company.
• Cayman Islands Residency: He renounced his U.S. citizenship in 1994 (gaining Belizean and Irish citizenship and later Cayman Islands residency) to avoid U.S. taxes (a source of major controversy).
• Distressed Sovereign Debt: He is a major figure in distressed sovereign debt trading (buying up troubled government bonds from countries like Brazil and Argentina).
• Dart Enterprises (Founder): His Cayman Islands-based investment and real estate development company (operating the largest portfolio of commercial real estate in Grand Cayman).
