Kansas City Chiefs heiress Gracie Hunt took to Instagram over the weekend to share what her experience was like at the National Soccer Hall of Fame induction, where she met “heroes” Landon Donovan and Hope Solo, among others.
Hunt, 24, saw her promising soccer career end due to several concussions, but she still loves the sport, enough to attend the HOF event in Texas.

Donovan, 41, and Solo, 41, were both inducted into the soccer Hall of Fame alongside an incredible honor for the late, great Grant Wahl, all sports figures whom Hunt admires.
“National Soccer Hall of Fame induction weekend inspired by these game changers and their grit, perseverance, and journeys,” Hunt wrote. “Your legacies have left an indelible mark on the sport of soccer and and profound impacts on culture and the generations to come.
“Congratulations to Grant Wahl, Hope Solo, Jill Ellis, Steve Zungul, Kate Markgraf, Landon Donovan, Lauren Holiday, and Damarcus Beasley. You were my heroes on the field when I was young and still are my heroes off the field today.”
Who is Gracie Hunt?
Gracie is the daughter of Clark Hunt, the chairman and CEO of the Chiefs. Her grandfather, Lamar Hunt, was one of the founders of the American Football League.
She has been around football all her life, but there’s a lot more to her than being an heiress to the Kansas City empire.
Gracie attended the Pembroke Hill School in Kansas City, where she was an active member of the community. She was a cheerleader, played soccer and lacrosse, and formed part of the student council.
The Chiefs heiress grew up with a love for sports, especially football, but is now creating her own brand and is worth about $3 million.
