    Arsenal owner Stan Kroenke’s amazing £500m ranch is largest in USA and bigger than New York and LA combined

    ARSENAL and Los Angeles Rams owner Stan Kroenke is worth an incredible £8.2BILLION and has a property portfolio to match.The American sports tycoon and his Walmart heiress wife purchased the United States’ largest ranch in 2016 and it’s so big you could fit the entire cities of New York and Los Angeles inside its borders.
    The W.T Waggoner Ranch is the largest in the USA
    The estate in Texas stretches over a staggering 535,000 acres
    Kroenke paid £500m for the land in 2016
    New York City AND Los Angeles would both fit inside its borders
    At a whopping 535,000 acres, the W.T Waggoner Ranch in Texas was bought by Kroenke and his wife Ann Walton for a cool £500million.
    The ranch includes thousands of cattle, hundreds of horses and oil wells, and 30,000 acres of farmland.
    The 74-year-old billionaire’s company Kroenke Sports and Entertainment owns Arsenal and cut 55 jobs during the pandemic due to financial issues at Emirates Stadium.
    He also owns Super bowl-bound NFL side LA Rams, NBA team Denver Nuggets, NHL franchise Colorado Avalanche and MLS side Colorado Rapids.
    And he has invested billions of dollars into the construction of the 70,000 seat SoFI Stadium in Inglewood, California, which will host the showpiece event on Sunday night.
    When he secured the ranch in 2016, Kroenke said: “This is an incredible opportunity and an even greater responsibility.

    Kroenke said he was honoured to protect the American landmark when he bought the ranch in 2016. “We are honoured to assume ownership of the Waggoner – a true Texas and American landmark – and are deeply committed to continuing the proud legacy of W.T. “Tom” Waggoner, his family and his descendants.
    “Our gratitude to them and to the many parties involved in this process is immense. We will continue to preserve and protect this uniquely American treasure.”
    Kroenke is a fairly unpopular figure at Arsenal and in 2019 Gunners fans issued a joint statement calling on him to reinvigorate the club.
    The statement said supporters had “never felt more marginalised”. The club then sacked Unai Emery and hired Mikel Arteta.
    Kroenke is married to Ann, whose father Bud was an early partner in Walmart, which was founded by his brother Sam.
    In 2012, Kroenke bought another historic property, the 124,000-acre Broken O Ranch in Montana.
    He also owns ranches in Wyoming, Arizona and British Columbia.
    New York City could fit inside the ranch’s border
    And Los Angeles could still fit alongside NYC within the boundaries
    The ranch comes with 30,000 acres of farmland
    Agricultural machinery is seen across the gigantic swathes of land
    Oil wells are also dotted across the property in Northern Texas
    Picturesque stone outhouses also feature on the land

    Inside Arsenal owner Stan Kroenke’s luxury £20m Malibu beach home that was set to be Princess Diana and Dodi Fayed’s pad

    WITH a net worth of around £8.2billion, Stan Kroenke is literally laughing all the way to the bank.The Arsenal and Los Angeles Rams owner collects properties like he’s playing a game of Monopoly, once splashing £500million on a ranch in Texas that’s so big it could fit New York and Los Angeles inside it.

    ‘Silent Stan’ also owns properties in Colorado and Montana, as well as an £11m penthouse inside the five-star Montage hotel in Beverly Hills.
    But his most high-profile purchase came in 1998, when the 74-year-old splashed around £8m on this incredible home in Malibu.
    The beach side property was originally owned by Dodi Fayed, and was set to be home for the movie producer and Princess Diana before their tragic deaths in a car accident.
    WHAT £20M GETS YOU
    Found on the Pacific Coast Highway, the property sits above the beautiful Paradise Cove.
    While the vast five-acre piece of land it sits on stretches from the road all the way through to the sand and sea.
    The home, also previously owned by Julie Andrews, includes a contemporary mansion, as well as a Mediterranean-style residence which acts as a guest home.
    The main house features five bedrooms, six bathrooms, has a stunning swimming pool and boasts a tennis court.
    There are three reception rooms, while the kitchen opens into a pool deck, and the living room has a limestone fireplace and pine beams.
    An incredible glass domed dining room with views on all sides can also be found on the ground floor.

    Upstairs, the master bedroom suite has a beamed ceiling, its own sitting room, two bathrooms, and there’s plenty of closet space.
    High-profile neighbours include Friends actress Courteney Cox, U2 guitarist The Edge, former supermodel Cindy Crawford and pop star Lady Gaga.FIT FOR A PRINCESS
    Before Kroenke bought the compound, Princess Diana had her heart set on living there.
    Dodi, the son of the former Harrods owner Mohamed Al-Fayed, bought the home for around £7m – just months before he and Lady Di were tragically killed in Paris.
    And Diana’s former butler Paul Burrell revealed that it was set to be the pair’s secluded pad.

    The victory saw the Rams crowned NFC Champions as they booked their spot in February’s Super Bowl against the Cincinnati Bengals.
    And Kroenke – who controls both the Gunners and Rams through his KSE group – beamed with delight as he hoisted the George Halas Trophy aloft.
    The joke wasn’t lost on Arsenal fans, who might have seen their side lift the FA Cup in 2020 but haven’t claimed a Premier League trophy since 2003/4.

    But the social media phenom is already thinking about life after the sweet science, in which he hopes to play American Football at the highest level.
    He told ESPN’s Stephen A Smith: “Stephen, I can run a 4.5-second 40-yard dash.
    “You don’t think the Browns would draft me? Come on now, I can play Free Safety!”
    When asked what position he’d like to play, Paul told Smith: “Wide Receiver, I got hands.
    “If you get me some of those sticky Nike gloves, I’ll be up in there scoring touchdowns. You’ll see me on SportsCenter highlight reels.”
    Paul, 25, stretched his professional record to an unblemished 5-0 last month with a viral KO of former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley.

    The Problem Child wants to continue facing big-name fighters and hopes to round off his career with a world title in tow.
    He said: “The sky is the limit for me right now and if I want to accomplish something it’s all about me being able to do that and me making the commitment and putting in the work required to do that.
    “But I think right now, going to 10-0, being undefeated, fighting some big names, making history and maybe taking a world championship belt from somebody just to say I did it, and retiring at 10-0.”
    Paul has seemingly turned his attention away from boxing to potentially competing in mixed martial arts.
    And the former Disney star already has a weight class in mind for a potential MMA bout.

    In a tweet directed to UFC president Dana White earlier this month, he said: “When I make my MMA debut, I could cut 20 pounds and do it at welterweight/170 pounds.
    “That’s what all UFC fighters do and many have destroyed their bodies and minds doing it.
    “But I’m going do it at middleweight (185). Health first. P.S. Conor [McGregor is] walking around at 190Ibs.”

    Ex-NBA star Deron Williams beats NFL legend Frank Gore in wild boxing exhibition on Jake Paul vs Tyron Woodley undercard

    DERON WILLIAMS beat NFL legend Frank Gore in a wild and reckless boxing exhibition on Jake Paul’s undercard. The ex-NBA star got the points verdict after four painfully scrappy rounds in Florida.

    At one point, in round two, Williams landed a right hand and then pushed Gore into the ropes and almost out of the ring.
    But Gore got his own back and shoved the basketballer to the floor just moments later.
    Williams scored the only knockdown, with a standing count, in round three after the ropes kept Gore up.
    Both men swung haymakers right until the end and looked absolutely knackered by the end of it.
    Williams, 37, has owned the Fortis MMA gym in Dallas since 2015 and has been training there ever since.
    Similarly, Gore, 38, has been using boxing training since 2005 as part of his regime.

    He said: “I’m going to sit my old, dumbass down somewhere and let these professionals do their s***.
    “Honestly, I probably looked terrible out there. I feel like my last five sparring sessions were on point.
    “My head wasn’t coming up, soon as you get out here and start getting touched it’s all different, all your training goes out of the window.

    Who owns the Tampa Bay Buccaneers? Meet the billionaire Glazer family

    THIS could be the Glazer family’s most successful year on both sides of the Atlantic since 2003, when the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last won the Super Bowl and Manchester United won the Premier League.The Buccaneers – owned by the Glazer family – thumped the Kansas City Chiefs 31-9 to win the Super Bowl on Sunday, February 7, 2021.

    Tom Brady threw three touchdowns, giving the evergreen 43-year-old quarterback a record-extending seventh championship ring.
    The only team to play a Super Bowl on their home field, the Buccaneers made the most of the opportunity as they were crowned champions for the first time since January, 2003.
    They beat the Kansas City Chiefs 31-9.
    Co-owner Joel Glazer accepted the Vince Lombardi Trophy as confetti showered the on-field stage.

    Who are the Glazers?
    The Glazer family has owned the Tampa Bay Buccaneers since 1995, when American tycoon Malcolm Glazer paid a then-record $192million for the franchise.
    He also acquired Manchester United as he looked to expand his business empire on both sides of the Atlantic.
    Glazer acquired ownership of United in a £790m takeover by gradually buying out shareholders between 2003 and 2005.
    He had a net worth of £3.19bn when he died in 2014.
    The family’s ownership of United has been a point of controversy for almost two decades.
    Ever since the American family took charge of the Red Devils there have been fan protests, with many supporters fearing that the club has moved away from its traditional local values.
    Despite a public offering of United on the New York Stock Exchange in 2012, the Glazers remain in control approaching the 16th anniversary of their takeover.
    After the success of the Buccaneers, United is mounting its best title challenge since winning its record 20th English league trophy in 2013.
    Here’s a profile of the Glazer family and their various business ventures:

    Known as Avie, the eldest child of Malcolm and Linda Glazer has been co-chairman of United, with brother Joel, since 2005.
    His earlier business career included being chairman and chief executive of the Zapata Corporation, which was founded by George W Bush.
    He is co-owner of The Tampa Bay Buccaneers with his siblings but is not listed as a chairman.
    In December 2021, Glazer purchased a franchise from the brand-new T20 league in the United Arab Emirates.
    “I am very excited to be a part of UAE T20 at its formation. UAE T20 promises to be a world-class event that will be transformative to the growth of cricket in the Emirates,” he said.
    The UAE T20 league is a six-team competition and will run for the first time between February and March 2022.Joel Glazer

    As well as his involvement with United, Joel is co-chairman, with brothers Bryan and Edward, of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the NFL franchise the family bought in 1995.
    The Buccaneers website states he oversees the day-to-day operations of the franchise.
    Under their tenure, the Buccaneers won their first Super Bowl in 2003 and opened a new stadium where home team touchdowns are marked by cannons firing from a 103-foot replica pirate ship.
    The team also won in 2021 on their home field against the Kansas City Chiefs.Bryan Glazer

    Bryan is co-chairman and a former Zapata executive.
    He takes control of a lot of the day-to-day running of the NFL team and had a big role in the design and construction of the Raymond James Stadium.
    The team’s website states he is “working tirelessly to support the Buccaneers franchise and brand”.
    In 2015, he made a $4million contribution to setting up the Bryan Glazer Jewish Community Center in Tampa.Kevin Glazer 
    Kevin is co-chairman of First Allied Corporation, the real estate company which is the foundation of the family’s fortune.
    He is also the director of a banking firm, a commercial refrigeration business and the Houlihan’s restaurant chain.

    Darcie is the executive vice-present of First Allied Corporation.
    She is co-president and main driving force of the Glazer Family Foundation which established a Children’s Museum in Tampa and does a lot of philanthropic work in the city, much of it linked to the Bucs.
    The team’s website states she is the “driving force behind many of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ innovative, forward-thinking fan engagement and community outreach initiatives, retail activation, and facility design”.

    The first match at the new ground was an Under-18s match between Spurs and Southampton on March 24, 2019, which was won 3-1 by Tottenham, with J’Neil Bennett scoring the first goal.
    A week later, Crystal Palace were the first Premier League opponents at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with Son-Heung min scoring the first goal in a 2-0 win.
    And Anthony Joshua’s fight against Oleksandr Usyk is the latest big event to be hosted at the North London ground.
    How big is the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium?
    The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium has a capacity of 62,850.
    That makes it bigger than fierce rivals Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium, which holds just 60,260.
    But chairman Daniel Levy said on the morning of the opening that the capacity had nothing to do with getting one over on the Gunners.
    He commented: “It’s nothing to do with Arsenal.
    “All I can say is we wanted to build a stadium that had a minimum capacity of 60,000, and we managed to get it to 62,000.
    “I don’t think you can be a big club in a 36,000-seater stadium.

    “This is a 62,000-seater stadium – the second biggest [club stadium] in the UK – and I think our fans deserve it, and our players deserve to play in front of a big audience.
    “I’m obviously proud, but I’m proud for all our fans. I think we’re delivering something which is great for them, great for our players, and it’s great for London.
    “This is an iconic stadium.
    “I take a long-term view. It’s very hard to be right at the top, but we are one of the biggest clubs in the world and we will continue growing.
    “We want to be there and we want to win.”
    As well as hosting Spurs games, the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium has hosted NFL matches, with the Oakland Raiders’ game against Seattle Seahawks the first clash on the pitch which lies underneath the Desso grass surface for association football games.How many boxing matches have been at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium?
    Anthony Joshua’s fight against Oleksandr Usyk on Saturday, September 25, 2021 is the first boxing event at the ground.
    AJ had originally been due to fight Kubrat Pulev there in June 2020, but it was postponed because of Covid.
    The old White Hart Lane had hosted several boxing matches, including the infamous clash between Michael Watson and Chris Eubank in 1991, which saw Watson partially disabled for the rest of his life.
