On this date in 1974, oilman H L Hunt died in Dallas. In the 1930s, Hunt accumulated a fortune buying and selling oil leases. His biggest success was his partner ship with struggling oil man Dad Joiner, who had struck oil in East Texas, but lacked the financial capital to continue developing the East Texas Oil Fields. For $30,000 investment, Hunt made millions. By the 1950s, Hunt would jokingly introduce himself "Hello, I am H. L. Hunt, the world's richest man...." Hunt was 84.
