# H. L. Hunt

> Haroldson Lafayette Hunt Jr. was an American oil tycoon and the founding patriarch of the Hunt business dynasty. Most likely through money he gained by speculating in oil leases, he gradually secured title to much of the East Texas Oil Field, one of the world's largest oil deposits. His first such land purchase was from oil speculator Columbus Marion Joiner for $30,000, and he founded Hunt Oil in 1936.
