Message: <blockquote data-quote="tikkalover" data-source="post: 323812" data-attributes="member: 600">       How much real estate does the Gates family own?The Gates family’s real-estate holdings are vast. Their main home is a high tech-enabled mansion in Medina, Wash., nicknamed “Xanadu 2.0” after the estate in the film “Citizen Kane.” The couple purchased the home for $2 million in 1988, but today it is estimated to be worth close to $170 million, according to public records <a href="https://www.mansionglobal.com/articles/where-do-the-richest-americans-live-41982" target="_blank">reviewed by Mansion Global</a>.       Xanadu 2.0 is just the start of their real-estate empire. The Gates own nearly 270,000 acres spread across 19 states, <a href="https://landreport.com/2021/01/bill-gates-americas-top-farmland-owner/" target="_blank">according to research from The Land Report</a>. This includes around 242,000 acres of farmland. The Gates family has spent millions of dollars over the past decade <a href="https://nypost.com/2018/05/30/bill-and-melinda-gates-buy-daughter-5m-apartment/" target="_blank">on horse farms</a> in Wellington, Fla., and Westchester County, N.Y.,  in particular. The Gates’ main home, a mansion in Washington state, is estimated to be worth around $170 million. —The couple has purchased many properties in recent years. Roughly a year ago, they <a href="https://www.mansionglobal.com/articles/bill-and-melinda-gates-buy-oceanfront-home-near-san-diego-for-43-million-138455" target="_blank">bought a six-bedroom oceanfront home</a> in Del Mar, Calif., for $43 million from the former wife of Texas billionaire T. Boone Pickens. Back in 2017, they <a href="https://nypost.com/2018/05/30/bill-and-melinda-gates-buy-daughter-5m-apartment/" target="_blank">shelled out $5 million</a> on an apartment in Harlem for their 22-year-old daughter Jennifer, who at the time was planning to attend medical school in New York City.        Other real-estate investments were made through Bill Gates’ firm, Cascade Investment LLC. These holdings include The Charles Hotel outside of Boston and a 490-acre Wyoming ranch once owned by “Buffalo Bill” Cody, <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/this-mans-job-make-bill-gates-richer-1411093811" target="_blank">according to The Wall Street Journal</a>. Cascade also has part ownership in luxury hotel chain the Four Seasons and the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in San Francisco.</blockquote>
