Clark Knobel Hunt (born February 19, 1965) is an American billionaire and businessman who is chairman and CEO of the National Football League (NFL)'s Kansas City Chiefs and a founding investor-owner in Major League Soccer. Hunt is chairman of Hunt Sports Group, where he oversees the operations of the Chiefs, FC Dallas and, formerly, the Columbus Crew of MLS.[1] He is the son of Chiefs founder Lamar Hunt and his second wife Norma Hunt, and is the grandson of oil tycoon H. L. Hunt. As of 2023, he had an estimated net worth of $2 billion.[2]

Following the death of his father in 2006, Hunt, his mother, and his siblings inherited legal ownership of the Chiefs. However, as chairman and CEO, Clark is the public face of the ownership group and operating head of the franchise, representing the Chiefs at all owners meetings.[3][4] Prior to his mother's death in 2023, Hunt owned a 20.5 percent share of the franchise.[5] Under Hunt's leadership, the Chiefs have made the playoffs eleven times, won the AFC West nine times (eight consecutively), and appeared in four Super Bowls, winning three.
