Clark Hunt was born in Dallas, Texas on February 19, 1965. As we mentioned previously, his father was billionaire investor Lamar Hunt, who earned his fortune as the son of H.L. Hunt, one of the richest people in the world at the time of his death in 1975.

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 and renamed them the Chiefs. Clark and his three siblings inherited the team upon their father's death in 2006. Today the Kansas City Chiefs are worth $4 billion.

Clark attended St. Mark's School of Texas then Southern Methodist University, where he graduated in 1987 with a double degree in finance and business administration. While he was at SMU, Clark was a two-time All American soccer player.

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 therichest person in the US. At the time of his death in 1975 H.L. Hunt 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.

After college Clark spent two years working at Goldman Sachs before deciding to move back to Texas to work in the family business.

In the 1970s, Clark's uncle Nelson Bunker Hunt was briefly the richest man in the world. He famously earned that titleonly to go bankrupt a day later after a bad bet on the price of silver.
