Bill Gates now the top private farmland owner in the US

[Londons_Moggie]

Bill Gates has acquired 242,000 acres of US farmland but it is unclear what he has bought it for

 

[SuperStu]

Probably has loads of images he wants to crop.

Growing apples?

Probably to manufacture some more of those tiny chips that are being injected into people as part of the Covid conspiracy.

Fantastic invention - cut out the 'middleman' - the potato - and go straight for the chips.

The Queen has more farmland in the UK, I'm amazed that 240k acres makes you a top private landowner in the US.

Anything but GM cr@p I would imagine.

I assume the pinch is the 'private' bit. everyone else who buys lots of farmland probably does it while trading as a business?

Jeff Bezos spent summers on his grandparents’ ranch in Texas as a kid, learning how to, among other things, castrate cattle.

Today he has his own spread in the Lone Star State, where his company Blue Origin tests its reusable New Shepard rocket. The world’s wealthiest person amassed the 420,000 acres over two decades to become the 26th-largest private landholder in the U.S.

Who Owns the Most Land In America?

From Maine to California, the 100 biggest private landowners control about 2% of the entire United States.

I suppose the difference in 'land' and 'farmland' is significant as most of these dwarf the Gates one?

Can anyone explain why Gates gets such a bad press ( other than jealousy ) he and his wife seem pretty decent people, Elon Musk on the other hand.....

What an idiotic post.

He's obviously trying to wipe malaria to control peoples minds because he's pure evil, like that big ball thing on the Fifth Element.

I didn't think he did get such a bad press tbh.

Musk gets a worse one, and Zuck, and Bezos.

Mega rich people always get dogs abuse. It's a strange mix of jealousy and suspicion

Especially musicians. See Bono, Paul McCartney, and Madonna.

Bonio's become a bit insufferable, Madonna's talentless, but McCartney's alright.

Exhibit A your honour!
