Tim Sweeney, the billionaire who created Epic Games and Fortnite, has been buying up huge amounts of land in North Carolina. But he’s not building on it or selling it for profit. Instead, he’s protecting it from being destroyed by developers. Over the last ten years, he’s bought more than 40,000 acres of forests and wilderness.
According to Daily Dot, Sweeney wants to save these natural areas before construction companies can get to them. He’s been doing this work quietly, without much attention from the media. His focus is on land that has important wildlife and plants that need protection.
