Stan Kroenke Secures Position as America’s Leading Private Landowner with New Mexico Acquisition

A billionaire sports and real estate magnate has quietly completed the largest private land purchase in the United States in over a decade. This monumental acquisition has propelled him past other moguls to the top of the nation’s private landownership rankings.

Stan Kroenke, owner of the NFL’s Los Angeles Rams and England’s Premier League club Arsenal, has purchased more than 937,000 acres of ranchland in New Mexico. This significant off-market deal involved property once owned by the heirs of Teledyne founder Dr. Henry Singleton, as first reported by The Land Report.

This acquisition has catapulted Kroenke from No. 4 to No. 1 on the 2025 Land Report 100, surpassing other billionaire landowners such as Ted Turner and John Malone. It also marks the largest single land transaction in the United States in over a decade, although financial terms were not disclosed by either party.

With this deal, Kroenke now owns more land than any other private individual in the United States, surpassing the Emmerson family’s 2.44 million acres, Malone’s 2.2 million acres, and Turner’s 2 million acres.

Kroenke’s extensive portfolio now spans much of the American West and Canada. His holdings include 560,000 acres in Wyoming, 124,000 in Montana, the historic W.T. Waggoner Ranch in Texas, 800,000 acres in Nevada, and British Columbia’s Douglas Lake Ranch.

Born in Columbia, Missouri, Kroenke built his fortune through real estate development and professional sports. He owns the Los Angeles Rams, the NBA’s Denver Nuggets, the NHL’s Colorado Avalanche, and the Premier League’s Arsenal FC. Married to Ann Walton Kroenke, an heiress to the Walmart fortune, he has expanded his land and ranching empire across the American West for decades.
