Major pro sports teams have turned dozens of franchise owners into billionaires many times over in the last quarter-century, but nobody has made as much money from sports ownership as Stan Kroenke. The reclusive billionaire—who announced on Tuesday that he is buying a majority stake in the Los Angeles Angels from Arte Moreno, at a valuation of roughly $4 billion, according to a person with knowledge of the deal—made his fortune in real estate and stands as America’s largest private landowner, with some 2.7 million acres of ranches.
