Land is considered to be one of the best investments one can own. And if you asked any of the 10 (groups of) people on this list they would most likely agree with you.
That is because they are the top 10 largest landowners in the country. From television magnet Ted Turner who heads the list to the Huber Family that owns both timber and oil land, the holdings are amazing.
The 2 million acres that Ted Turner owns is pretty large. Rhode Island only has 776,957.

Is investing in raw land still a good investment?
Comment by Todd Covington on 8 January 2009:
Tony, what I think and hope is that Ted Turner will put most if not all of his land under a preservation/conservation easement. Land has run out on the coast of South Carolina and governments here are now in a rush to conserve what’s left to preserve the quality of life here. Any of these 10 would be my hero forever if they dedicated just a portion of their land to be preserved.

I would like to know the largest overall land owners not jut the private land owners. In your research for the individual land owner top ten list did you find any such resource?

Interesting blog topic. I guess you had to know that the Fords would be towards the top of the list.

Dear Sir,
I am a property owner with 20 acres of land, which is 80 plots in all at Accra- Brekuso , after Kwabeya and its next to Ashysi Universiity. Am looking for a buyer to inspect the site and the documents. One acre of four plots is 14,000 usd or equivalent to Ghana cedis. This cite can be very good for an estate or a student hostel. Interested persons are to contact the address below.
Thanks .
