If the magnate Bill Gates dedicates himself to philanthropy by spending his money on humanitarian causes, will he eventually run out of money? Not exactly, because in addition to serving as an advisor at Microsoft, in reality the magnate has many other businesses aimed at continuing to fatten his wallet so that the wheel keeps turning. The most surreal of all is planting the french fries eaten at McDonald’s.
As Bill Gates himself publicly acknowledged, the Microsoft co-founder has become the largest private landowner in the country with a total of 1,090 square kilometers of land spread across 18 states of his native country. Of all the land dedicated to agriculture, one of the most famous is directly linked to McDonald’s.
Bill Gates’ French Fries
In 2018, coinciding with his expansion in the agriculture market, he acquired a farm called 100 Circles Farm and its 58.6 square kilometers of land valued at 171 million dollars. With four million kg of french fries distributed daily worldwide, McDonald’s has to source them from somewhere, and that’s where the mentioned farm comes in.
Are you eating fries planted by Bill Gates? Well, first of all, Gates doesn’t actually plant the potatoes, he simply believes that food is a commodity that will never disappear no matter how much the world turns and technology changes, so creating more efficient and profitable farms has become a great investment strategy for him.
Secondly, to eat one of the fries that indirectly will end up filling Bill Gates’ pocket, you should live in the United States, as McDonald’s finds it cheaper to buy from local farmers than to bring a plane full of potatoes from across the pond. But if you go to the Washington area, where the farm is located, if you eat a fry you can always say “this one’s for Bill Gates”.
