Florida ranch

Outside of the family home in Washington, Gates owns a 4.5 acre ranch in Wellington, Florida.

He reportedly purchased the home in 2013 for $8.7million.

Rancho Paseana

In 2014, Gates purchased the 228-acre Rancho Paseana for $18million.

In front of the Santa Fe home is a racetrack that is three-qaurter-mile’s long.

The mansion used to belong to weight-loss expert Jenny Craig.

The Californian property also includes five barns and an orchard.

Buffalo Bill Cody’s ranch

In 2009, Gates reportedly bought a ranch in Wyoming that belonged to Buffalo Bill Cody.

Although the price he purchased it for has been made public, the 492-acre ranch was previously listed for $8.9 million.

Investments

Gates has also made several investments over the years through his personal investment firm, Cascade.

He reportedly owns close to half of the Four Season Holdings’ hotel chain.

Gates shares 95% of the ownership with Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal.

The two billionaires bought the hotel chain for $3.8billion meaning that Gates could have forked out $1.9billion for the luxury-hotel business.

In 2013, Gates along with several unnamed buyers paid $161million for the Ritz-Carlton in San Francisco.

This year Gates became the biggest owner of agricultural land in the US after buying up 242,000 acres in 18 states, the Land Report published.

The 65-year-old’s holdings include 16,097 acres in Washington, 20,588 in Nebraska, 25,750 in Arizona, 47,927 in Arkansas, and 69,071 in Louisiana.

It is unclear as to why Gates has invested in the farmland.
