Introduction
The Kansas City Chiefs are a professional American football team based in Kansas City, Missouri. The Chiefs compete in the National Football League (NFL) as a member club of the league’s American Football Conference (AFC) West division. The team was founded in 1960 as the Dallas Texans by businessman Lamar Hunt and was a charter member of the American Football League (AFL). In 1963, the team relocated to Kansas City and assume their current name. The Chiefs joined the NFL as a result of the AFL–NFL merger in 1970.
The team is valued at over $2 billion. Hunt’s son, Clark, serves as chairman and CEO. While Robin Leach of CelebrityNetWorth.com pegs Kim Pegula’s net worth at $3.1 billion, Forbes estimates that Terry Pegula’s net worth is only $1.2 billion.
The Chiefs have won three AFL championships, in 1962, 1966, and 1969. They became the second AFL team (after the New York Jets) to defeat an NFL team in an AFL–NFL World Championship Game when they defeated the Minnesota Vikings in Super Bowl IV. The team’s victory on January 11, 1970, remains the club’s last championship game appearance to date and occurred concurrently with their relocation from Dallas to Kansas City eight months earlier.
