A few months back, Bloomberg compiled a list of the biggest landowners in the US. There are fewer household names at the top of this 100-person list, but lower down come familiar names such as Amazon chief Jeff Bezos, Subway Restaurants co-owner Peter Buck and CNN founder Ted Turner. Altogether the 1oo top US landowners own roughly 2% of the US landmass, which approximates the size of Florida.
