Congratulations to Clayton Homes Founder

Clayton Homes of Burleson congratulates founder Jim Clayton on being ranked #146 on Forbes’ 2026 Self-Made 250 list, honoring America’s greatest living self-made success stories.

Clayton Homes of Burleson is proud to congratulate Jim Clayton, founder of Clayton Homes, on being recognized by Forbes as #146 on its 2026 Self-Made 250 list, honoring the greatest living self-made Americans.

This is a tremendous honor and a powerful reminder of the story behind Clayton Homes. From rural Tennessee beginnings, Jim Clayton built a company centered around hard work, opportunity, and the dream of making homeownership more attainable for American families.

What began with one man’s vision grew into one of the most recognized names in manufactured housing. Today, Clayton Homes continues to help families across the country find affordable, quality-built homes — and that mission still matters here in Burleson, Fort Worth, DFW, and across North Texas.

At Clayton Homes of Burleson, we are proud to be part of that legacy. Jim Clayton’s story represents the same values we work to carry forward every day: service, value, determination, and helping more families achieve homeownership.

Congratulations to Jim Clayton on this incredible recognition from Forbes. It is a huge honor for our founder, our company, and everyone who believes in the American dream of homeownership.
