The Hart Family is a dynasty not only for their great wrestling heritage but for their class and abundance of wealth.

Headed by Stu Hart, the Hart Family were also a well-respected family in the business world. Stu Hart created ‘Stampede Wrestling’ in 1948, a Canadian based wrestling promotion that ran for almost half a century.

The Harts were comfortable and even lived in a mansion, known as the 'Hart House,' this building would be the foundation of several wrestling careers as Stu used the building to train various aspiring wrestlers.

Despite not being big enough to compete with the WWF, Stampede Wrestling’s popularity suffered due to Vince McMahon’s ruthless nature when it came to competition.

Regardless, the business supplied the needs of the Hart Family by providing them with a luxurious lifestyle and a sense of responsibility because all the kids were given administration roles within the company. Some were made to be referees while others were in charge of the ticket sales at arenas.

Stu felt that irrespective of his wealth, his children should be made to earn their pocket money.
