Hunt, for $25,000 in 1960, the Chiefs looked poised to become the NFL’s next dynasty. Purchased by Lamar Hunt, son of oil and gas legend H.L. Tampa Bay defeated a resurgent opponent that has billionaire backers with a comeback story of their own, the $15.5 billion Hunt family. “Our father would have loved this group of players and coaches.” Joel and brothers Edward and Bryan co-chair the Buccaneers while sister Darcie is president of the organization’s foundation and the Glazer Vision Foundation. “Being back in the Super Bowl is a tremendous feeling, but ultimately our goal is to win,” Joel Glazer said in the lead-up to the game. (Tampa Bay’s Raymond James Stadium was chosen as this year’s neutral-site host years earlier.) They also delivered a double dose of firsts in NFL history, becoming the only team to play, and win, the Super Bowl at its home stadium. Four of his kids-Bryan, Darcie, Edward and Joel-completed a turnaround that rips a few pages from their dad’s playbook, including a successful bet on future Hall of Fame quarterback Tom Brady, whom they paired with offensive guru Bruce Arians and a plethora of young, talented players. The scrappy, self-taught businessman, who died in 2014, turned early real estate and junk bond investments into a family fortune that today includes roughly $600 million of real estate around the country, the Bucs and Premier League soccer club Manchester United. Now, six heirs to patriarch Malcolm Glazer’s $5.8 billion fortune have delivered a second. Brady led the Bucs to a 31-9 victory over the defending champion Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LV on Sunday, crowning a renaissance year for a team-and a family-that had tasted the playoffs only twice since the Super Bowl win in 2003, the same year Glazer first became a billionaire.
