'Yellowstone' Creator Taylor Sheridan's Astonishing Land Ownership Data Revealed, Is Absurdly Wealthy

Taylor Sheridan doesn't just create shows that take place in vast environments.

He lives it.

Sheridan got his big break when he wrote the hit cartel film "Sicario," and he followed up that success by creating "Yellowstone."

The rest is history. He became the most powerful creator in entertainment, expanded his empire and recently agreed to a new deal with NBCUniversal that is worth more than $1 billion.

The man has earned a ridiculous amount of money in his career, and he's used it to buy himself a small empire.

Taylor Sheridan Cracks Top 50 Landowners In America

It's not a secret that Sheridan has actual cowboy tendencies and experience. He even deals heavily in the horse business when he's not creating hit shows.

If you're going to live that life, then you need to have a lot of land. To say Sheridan has a lot of land would be one hell of an understatement.

The latest Land Report data for the largest landowners in America has the "Yellowstone" creator sitting with the 49th most land in America.

Specifically, Sheridan owns 267,000 acres of land as of 2026. His land holdings are largely in Texas and Wyoming. To put that into perspective, that's more than 417 square miles of land. One single piece of land makes up most of his land ownership, and it's the 266,255-acre 6666 ranch in West Texas.

Sheridan purchased the absurd property for $320 million in 2022.
