$25,000.00.
These guys (Hunt, Brown, Wilson, Bud Adams) were businessmen. Period.
They saw an opportunity in the marketplace and exploited it.
And now, nearly all of them are billionaires.
If you told me I could invest $25k and 50 years later, it would be worth a billion dollars, I'd tell you to sign me up yesterday.
Their worship is beyond me.

The Hunt's were rich BEFORE the Chiefs. The Chiefs are not worth billions of dollars, they are worth one billion, singular. Not to mention inflation, $25,000 in 1960 is roughly the equivalent of $178,000 today. That's a 18.9% growth rate, which is fantastic, I really wish I could get that, but anyway. Don't paint a picture in a negative light just b/c your unhappy today.
If you're so sick of this team, find a new one. seriously.
