He grew up in Norwood, an enclave of Cincinnati, Ohio.

After dropping out of school at 14 during the Great Depression, he helped expand his family's dairy business into United Dairy Farmers, a large chain of convenience stores.

With his three sons, he controlled roughly 42% of American Financial Group, a holding company based in Cincinnati whose primary business is insurance and investments.

Lindner supported the Republican Party.

In 2005, Lindner was among 53 entities that contributed the maximum of $250,000 to the second inauguration of President George W. Bush.

Carl Lindner and his brother Robert used their family's dairy business to build a chain of convenience stores in Cincinnati, Ohio, called United Dairy Farmers (UDF).

From there they went into the financial and communications fields.

Through their holding company American Financial Group (AFG) they control Great American Insurance, a holding company for a group of property and life insurance companies that constitute the twenty-third largest insurer in the country.
