The top 12 biggest land owners in the world (With Pictures)

11. The Wilks Brothers

The Wilks Brothers made the cut as the top 25 land owners in the United States recently. They are the biggest land owners in the entire state of Montana, and have increased their fortune by purchasing 36,000 acres of land in Idaho. The two brothers are known for being in the oil business, and made a fortune when they sold their oil fracking company. There were reports that their acquisition of land was for gas and oil exploration, but the Wilks Brothers have denied this. They have stated that they plan to use the land they’ve purchased for ranching purposes.
