Uhhh, haven't looked at Ted Turner's current holdings but just one of them, the Vermejo tract, is around 550,000 acres, for instance. Moreover, given Gates' decade of vaccine scams in India, and rising public awareness of the various wuhan virus scams and related negative factors, it may be that Gates best place to park his wealth is in land. Other people have been amassing very large holdings in the west long before Gates arrived. It is a safe bet that the only profits, if any, that Gilead has ever turned are where the dead hand of government was writing the checks.
That farmland Gates owns is equal to roughly a single 37.5 mile x 10 mile strip.
242,000 acres x 1 square mile/644 acres=375 square miles.
He hardly owns all the farmland, even in a single Midwest state.
