The headlines 6 months ago were that bill gates was the biggest land owner. So is this misinformation or disinformation?or just fake news?

He might be the largest farmland owner, but those big ranch spreads are much bigger.

Yes, these folks own a lot of land. It's a really good place to invest money for the long term. Going through the list, I think most of them are good citizens who either earned their wealth or inherited family wealth. Either way, they use their land to produce wealth for their own profit and the benefit of the country. Most of them probably vote conservative (not too sure about Ted Turner). I prefer this to foreign ownership of land and other businesses like meat and grain processing facilities, where a large percentage of the products are exported to other countries. And let's put in perspective. All together, these people own ~8.75 million acres. That's about 2/3 the size of San Bernardino county in California which is a bit less than 12.9 million acres, the largest county in the USA.

Edit: spelling

San Bernardino is basically the Mojave desert. So they have 2/3 of that.

This is fake. Bill gates is the #1 land owner.

It looks like they redacted all the jews from the list.

This is the part of the day where you admit that you get all of your news reading only headlines and are incapable of or too lazy to do a simple internet search. The results from this search along with a basic command of the English language is all you need to educated yourself.

i.e.

Data point 1: Bill Gates is the largest FARMLAND owner with just under 270,000 acres. Data point 2: The article talks about largest LAND owners and they are all ~1,000,000 plus

Can you spot the difference between these two statements?
