Stan Kroenke Buys Massive Texas Ranch Listed For $725 Million, Likely Most Expensive Ranch Sale Ever 
FORBES  
Feb 9, 2016

Billionaire Stan Kroenke, owner of what are now the NFL’s Los Angeles Rams, has purchased a massive Texas ranch that had a $725 million price tag. The exact purchase price was not disclosed, but if it came anywhere near the asking price the ranch would become the priciest ever to sell in the U.S.
The 510,000-acre W.T. Waggoner Ranch spans nearly 800 square miles and is believed to be the largest ranch behind a single fence in the U.S., said Joel Leadbetter of Hall and Hall, who represented Kroenke in the deal. Waggoner Ranch includes 30,000 acres of farmland, several creeks, more than 1,000 productive oil wells, hundreds of horses and thousands of cattle. The ranch  received the prestigious American Quarter Horse Association Best Remuda award in 1994 for its high-quality herd of quarter horses. “It’s been in the same family of ownership for 167 years, which is basically unheard of for ranches,” Leadbetter said.
