About Me

George Kaiser took over his family's Kaiser-Francis Oil Company in the 1960s. Kaiser bought the Bank of Oklahoma in 1991 for $60 million; he owns about 59% of the publicly-traded bank. He also owns 76% of publicly traded LNG firm Excelerate Energy as well as stakes in publicly traded fintech firm Alkami and the Oklahoma City Thunder. In the late 1930s, Kaiser's parents fled Nazi Germany and settled in Tulsa, Oklahoma in 1940. He was the first American citizen in his family. Kaiser has paid out more than $2 billion from his George Kaiser Family Foundation, which focuses on early childhood education and economic development.
