Aubrey McClendon is best known as the co-founder, retired CEO and former chairman of Chesapeake Energy. Aubrey is also part-owner of the NBA’s Oklahoma City Thunder.

He was born Aubrey Kerr McClendon on July 14, 1959, in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Aubrey played a key role in transforming the company he started from scratch 30 years ago into the country’s second-largest natural gas producer. McClendon graduated from Duke University with a BA in history and started his first oil and gas investment company, Chesapeake Investments, in 1982 at the age of 23. Seven years later, he co-founded Chesapeake Energy with Tom L. Ward. The company is now the most active driller and “fracturing operator” in the United States and went public in 1993. It is one of the top 15 oil producers in the United States and currently employs approximately 12,000 people. In addition to Chesapeake Energy, McClendon has other sources of wealth, selling 75 percent of his 10,000-bottle collection at auction and owning a 20 percent stake in the NBA’s Oklahoma City Thunder. He is an outspoken advocate for natural gas as a cleaner and safer alternative to oil and coal fuels. On March 1, 2016, Aubrey was charged with conspiring to rig bids to purchase natural gas and oil leases in Oklahoma. About 24 hours later, on March 2, Aubrey was supposed to put himself in jail. Instead, he drove the vehicle at high speed into an overpass and died. Initial reports said Aubrey deliberately crashed and committed suicide. He is 56 years old and leaves behind a wife and three children.
