Top 25 Mega American Land Owners
Land Investment property has year after year proven to be one of the best methods of Real Estate Investing. This “Top 25″ list has been compiled to contain some of the largest owners of American soil. They may or may not have a “media magnet” name in similarity to that of Donald Trump, etc, but there is one thing for sure, they own a heck of a lot of land here in the United States.
This list includes a rather diverse set of land owners ranging from famed media proprietor Ted Turner to King Ranch, whom produced the first registered quarter horse in America. Ted Turner tops the list as he he is the owner of mega pieces of land in all of 11 states. He should make it a goal to own land in all 50 states, only 39 to go Ted. Most of his land investment holdings reside in the states of Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, and South Dakota. Some of these properties are effectively striving to replenish our dwindling populations of buffalo, cutthroat trout, wolves, black-footed ferrets, as well as additional flora and fauna that once consumed the Plains area.
There are too many others on this list to mention, as well. This list also includes Amazon.com founder, Jeff Bezos, whom owns numerous West Texas ranches. Each and every single person on this list shares one common real estate investing trait, that you can’t and won’t go wrong by investing in land.
