The Kansas City Chiefs are used to making headlines. From their star quarterback Patrick Mahomes and controversial kicker Harrison Butker to their connections to Taylor Swift and, of course, their upcoming fifth Super Bowl appearance in the last seven seasons, it's hard to imagine a time when people weren't talking about the Chiefs.

That's good news for the Hunt family, who've owned the team since the beginning.

The Chiefs were founded by Lamar Hunt Sr. in 1959 as the Dallas Texans, but the team has been in Kansas City since 1963. Now, team ownership is divided between his children, Clark Hunt , Sharron Hunt Munson, Daniel Hunt, and Lamar Hunt Jr. with principal decision making falling to Clark, who's been the team's CEO since 2010.

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."

But the Hunt family's dynasty extends much further than football. Their real story actually begins with American oil tycoon H.L. Hunt.

Here's everything you need to know about the Clark family, who Forbes estimated in 2024 were worth $24.8 billion.
