After Bill bought nearly 25,000 acres of land west of Phoenix, Arizona – the media was quick to pick up the rumor that Bill Gates was planning on building “the city of the futureâ€�. So it’s understandable that when news broke of Bill’s farmland gains, the media was quick to call Bill the “Sustainable Agriculture Championâ€�. But like most things, reality is oftentimes a lot less glamorous than the theories.

Gates and his money manager, Larson, have a very simple relationship. Larson grows the money, and Gates gives it away. When you think of investing, investing in farmland typically isn’t the first thing that comes to mind – but if you think about it, farmland is a really logical choice. And being that Larson is very conservative with how he invests Bill’s money, farmland makes for a great choice. Posted By Ghost
