How Did Clark Hunt Make His Money? Net Worth Of Kansas City Chiefs Owner Revealed

Clark Hunt could make history with the Kansas City Chiefs at Super Bowl 2025 and here we explain how the billionaire businessman made his money.

He will become the first owner of a NFL franchise to oversee a Super Bowl three-peat if the Kansas City Chiefs beat the Philadelphia Eagles at the Caesars Superdome.

The 59-year-old was chairman of the Chiefs before he inherited legal ownership after the death of his father Lamar in 2006.

Since then the Chiefs have won three of the four Super Bowls they have competed in and are aiming to win the Vince Lombardi Trophy for the third successive year.

Going into Super Bowl 2025, Hunt has become one of the most successful owners in NFL history. He holds a staggering amount of wealth. So what is Clark Hunt’s net worth and how did he make all of his money?

Clark Hunt Net Worth

Clark Hunt has been able to make a lot of money through his success with Super Bowl finalists the Kansas City Chiefs.

Given their success over recent years with a talented squad consisting of the likes of Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce, his net worth has exploded since he took over the Chiefs.

According to Forbes, Hunt has a net worth of $1.4 billion as of February 2025.

Under the guidance of Hunt, the Chiefs are also worth a lot more money now than when he and his siblings replaced his father. The Chiefs were worth $894 million when they took over, and now the franchise is worth $4.2 billion.

Forbes report that the Hunt family as a whole have a net worth of $24.8 billion as of August 2024.

How Did Chiefs Owner Clark Hunt Make His Money?

Clark Hunt has made a lot of money with the Kansas City Chiefs thanks to their success in the NFL.

However, the Hunt family made serious amounts of money a long time before Clark achieved Super Bowl success with the Chiefs.

The Hunt family’s fortune originated with H.L. Hunt – Clark’s grandfather – who was an oil tycoon in Texas and was considered one of the richest men in the world.

Clark’s father, Lamar, founded what was then known as the Dallas Texans in 1960. However, due to local competition from the Dallas Cowboys, he moved the Texans and rebranded them as the Kansas City Chiefs in 1963.

Along with his three siblings, Clark inherited the franchise after Lamar’s death in 2006. Although they are a family-run business, Clark has the last say on all personnel decisions due to his roles as chairman and CEO.

What would Chiefs owner Clark Hunt say to NFL fans who are tired of the Chiefs winning?

"I think it's natural. When we made Super Bowl 54, it really felt like we had a lot of the country behind us, and that's maybe shifted. Fans… don't like the same team always being on top" pic.twitter.com/nfoakZKJIG

The Chiefs owner laid the groundwork for his future success in the family business as a graduate of Southern Methodist University. He earned a double degree in finance and business administration.

He has made his money thanks to a lot of smart decisions with the Chiefs to help guide them to success. This includes hiring Andy Reid in 2013 after his sacking from the Philadelphia Eagles and having a say in drafting Patrick Mahomes four years later.

Hunt and his family also make their money from MLS team FC Dallas – where Clark is chairman and CEO. They also hold a minority stake in the Chicago Bulls.

How His Net Worth Compares To Other NFL Owners

While Clark Hunt has made a lot of money, his net worth is overshadowed by that of Super Bowl opponent Jeffrey Lurie.

As per Forbes, the Philadelphia Eagles owner has a net worth of $5.3 billion – over three times more than Hunt.

However, it appears that neither Hunt or Lurie will be the most wealthy NFL franchise owners in the Caesars Superdome during the Super Bowl.

Jacksonville Jaguars owner Shahid Khan has docked his mega-yacht, Kismet, in New Orleans for Super Bowl 2025.

The yacht is worth a reported $450m. It’s said to have three pools, a spa, a cryotherapy chamber, a basketball court and a helipad among other luxuries.

It is no surprise that he can afford this with a net worth of $13.4 billion, as per Forbes. However, Khan doesn’t make the top five when it comes to net worth of NFL franchise owners.

The Denver Broncos are owned by the Walton-Penner ownership ground. Walmart heir Rob Walton is part of this ownership group and has a net worth of $118bn.

Next in the top five is David Tepper of the Carolina Panthers ($21.3bn), Seattle Seahawks‘ Jody Allen ($20.3bn), Stan Kroenke of the Los Angeles Rams ($16.9bn) and Jerry Jones from the Dallas Cowboys (£16.7bn).
