Bill Gates’ Wealth is staggering. In the last 3 years, he has acquired massive amounts of land in the United States. Bill Gates is the LARGEST land owner in America, owning over 280,000 acres of land. Why?

Two reasons: First, they are not producing more land, it’s an appreciating asset and an excellent investment with a falling US dollar and inflation. Over time, the value of the land increases. Second, TAXES! To have spendable cash and not pay taxes, Bill Gates borrows money against the land and pays ZERO taxes on all that money. Loans are not taxed. Bill Gates will continue buying tens of thousands of acres of land every year, he will borrow against the land until he dies, and all of the taxable gains will essentially go away.
