Actors build vast land holdings in the West
Hollywood stars own thousands of acres across California and neighboring areas, making land investments for profit or retirement. Bob Hope leads Southern California holdings, with Bing Crosby, Jimmy Stewart, Randolph Scott, Frank Sinatra, Lucille Ball, Fred Astaire, Robert Mitchum and others owning ranches and farms. Jim Nabors and Buddy Ebsen also own large agricultural properties, while Ronald Reagan once bought hundreds of acres and now holds 771 acres in Riverside County. The trend shows celebrities using real estate via corporate names to manage costs.
