e Gates's insistence that there's nothing to see here, some Reddit users still expressed concern at just how much land Gates has acquired.
"I did the math out of him owning 1/5000 and it comes to 180,000 acres or 281 sq miles. That's the size of 4.6 Washington DC's for perspective," one wrote.
"Bigger than the total area of Singapore or Bahrain," commented another.
But some Redditors came to Gates's defense, like WaywardTraveller, who wrote:
"Most farmland today is under corporate ownership, with the entire intent being to extract as much profit as possible. What Bill is doing here is different. I know it seems like a lot, and in reality it is. But given what's happening to the vast majority of farmland in the US, I'm leaning towards this being a Good Thing."
