According to the 2026 Land Report 100, Malone holds 2.2 million acres of U.S. land, a footprint …
Few people in American history have bought real estate the way Larry Ellison has. The Oracle co-founder’s property holdings span a Hawaiian island, dozens of California homes, a Florida waterfront compound that set state records, a London office building, and a historic villa in Kyoto, a collection so vast that Forbes estimates the total at $2.9 …
Warren Buffett has owned the same Omaha home since 1958 and almost nothing else in direct real estate, a deliberate choice that says more about operational constraints than about the asset class.

Barbara Corcoran turned a $1,000 loan into one of Manhattan’s most prominent real estate brokerages, then built a second career as a Shark Tank investor.
