TOP TWO U.S. LANDOWNERS REVEALED
Nov. 21, 2012
LandOwner newsletter reports:
John Malone, founder and chairman of Liberty Media, is the nation's largest private landowner, according to The Land Report magazine.
The magazine states Malone owns 2.2 million acres, which puts him just ahead of Ted Turner with 2 million acres.
Malone moved into the No. one spot with his purchase of 1 million acres of New England timber.
Prior to that purchase, he jumped into the land-buying headlines with his purchase of the famous Bell Ranch, a 290,100-acre operation in New Mexico dating to the 1824 Montoya Land Grant.
