Read the story Billionaire brothers Dan and Clark Hunt are at the helm of a family sports empire that started with less than $100,000 and is now worth in excess of $6.5 billion, with a portfolio of teams across the National Football League, Major League Soccer and the National Basketball Association. Still riding the high of a second straight Super Bowl victory as the owners of the Kansas City Chiefs, the Hunts stand to gain from the long-awaited arrival of Wall Street investors to the NFL. That's not to mention the support of superstar Taylor Swift, who has brought new attention via her romance with Chiefs player Travis Kelce. To hear the Hunt brothers tell it, their sports fortune is poised to get a lot bigger, lifted by growing interest in soccer in the US and international expansion for American football. Read The Big Take.

Listen to the podcast The Hunts discuss the hot streak that's seen their Kansas City Chiefs win three of the past five Super Bowls, as well as their efforts to help promote the 2026 North American FIFA World Cup.  Subscribe and listen on iHeart, Apple and Spotify.
