What the hell? I had no idea.

Also

Bill Gates, the fourth richest person in the world and a self-described nerd who is known for his early programming skills

Sure he is, Ariel.

According to The Land Report’s research, the land is held directly and through third-party entities by Cascade Investments, Gates’ personal investment vehicle. Cascade’s other investments include food-safety company Ecolab, used-car retailer Vroom and Canadian National Railway.

While Gates may be the country’s biggest farmland owner, he by no means is the largest individual landowner. In its list of 100 top American landowners, The Land Report gives the top spot to Liberty Media Chair John Malone, who owns 2.2 million acres of ranches and forests. CNN founder Ted Turner ranked number three with 2 million acres of ranch land across eight states. Even Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos is investing in land on a large scale, landing the 25th spot with his ownership of 420,000 acres, mainly in west Texas.

Already exist in theory, they could just perma-hire a private military contractor company like Executive Order or Academi and know their people are trustworthy since they work CIA ops and most were special forces prior to leaving the service.

He's playing Settlers of Catan at the macro mega level and buying all the crops.

I'd like to see him try to bring in a harvest.

Especially in that flat, wide-open land, with nothing to hide behind.
