James L. Clayton, Sr. (born March 2, 1934) is an American businessman, investor, and philanthropist. He founded Clayton Homes in 1966 and built it into the United States' largest producer and seller of manufactured housing, a formerly publicly traded company that was sold to Berkshire Hathaway in 2003 for $1.7 billion. James L. Clayton was born in 1934 in Finger, Tennessee. His father was a sharecropper.&nbsp;
As a child, he aspired to become a country music singer. After high school, he went to Memphis to attend Memphis State and perform in honky tonks.

While a student, Clayton started an informal business of fixing and reselling used cars, establishing a used-car business in 1956. That business grew into a group of Knoxville-area automobile dealerships operated by Jim Clayton and his brother Joe; Jim Clayton sold his interest in the automotive business to Joe in 1981.

Clayton, Griffin, and McBride resurfaced soon after the crash near to the wreckage, and were rescued by a nearby pontoon boat. Joe Clayton’s body around 9:30 p.m, was recovered next to the wreckage of the helicopter and was pronounced dead on arrival.
