The Hunt Family – $13.7 Billion

The Hunt family wealth began with wildcatter H.L. Hun. Furthermore, Hunt laid the foundation for his family’s fortune with Hunt Oil Company. What’s more, he had 14 children with three different women. Today, his heirs oversee several fortunes. For instance, son Ray Lee Hunt is in charge of overseeing Hunt Oil, while son William Herbert Hunt is behind oil and gas firm Petro-Hunt.
Meanwhile, his daughter Caroline founded and later sold Rosewood Hotels & Resorts. What’s more, his late son, sports magnate Lamar Hunt, is said to have named the Super Bowl. In fact, Hunt’s children still own the NFL’s Kansas City Chiefs as well as a minority stake in the NBA’s Chicago Bulls. Apparently, they love to spend their billions on real estates, like the 6-million-square-foot underground business park SubTropolis.
