Haroldson Lafayette Hunt Jr. was born on February 17, 1889, near Ramsey, Illinois. During the 1930s, he bought the title for the East Texas Oil Field for $1,000,000.

Over the course of H.L's lifetime and after his death, the Hunt family has used their fortune from the energy industry to invest extensively in sports teams, hotels and real estate. In 2024, Forbes estimated the Hunt family's net worth at $24.8 billion and ranked them as the twelfth richest family in the U.S.
