Stan Kroenke, the billionaire owner of the world’s most valuable portfolio of sports clubs, including London’s Arsenal Football Club and most recently, the Los Angeles Angels, also boasts another title. The Colorado real-estate magnate, once dubbed “Silent Stan” for his reticence to talk to the press, is America’s largest private landowner, according to the 2025 Land Report. Kroenke owns 2.7 million acres, about as much as 2 million football fields and larger than the sprawling Yosemite National Park.
Kroenke added yet another asset to his growing portfolio, announcing on Tuesday his purchase of the Los Angeles Angels from Arte Moreno, who bought the club in 2003. With the transaction to be finalized in the first quarter of 2027, Kroenke is set to have controlling interest in the LA Rams, Denver Nuggets, Colorado Avalanche, Arsenal, and Angels.
