OWNER OF LOS ANGELES RAMS STAN KROENKE IS NOW THE LARGEST U.S. LANDOWNER
Jan. 20, 2026
Land Report magazine reports:
Dallas, TX -- There is a new number one on the list of the nation's leading landowners in the United States. If you don't recognize the name, Stan Kroenke, you are probably at least familiar with some of the sports teams he owns: the NBA's Denver Nuggets, the NFL's Los Angeles Rams, and the NHL's Colorado Avalanche.
The sports and entertainment mogul now owns 2.7 million acres of private land, consisting mostly of cattle ranches, according to the new Land Report 100 list.
Kroenke was number four on last year's list. But after completing the single-largest land purchase in the U.S. in more than a decade just last month, he has moved to the top spot.
The property that propelled him there includes more than 937,000 deeded acres of ranchland in New Mexico that previously belonged to the heirs of Teledyne founder Henry Singleton.
Eric O'Keefe, editor of The Land Report, announced the new Land Report 100 list at this year's Land Investment Expo, held earlier this week in Des Moines, Iowa. O'Keefe said Kroenke's collection of iconic ranches mirrors his penchant for acquiring sports teams.
"I believe it's a top-tier portfolio that mirrors the excellence--or vice versa--that you see at Kroenke Sports & Entertainment," O'Keefe said, describing the sports magnate's growing list of legacy properties.
