In recent weeks, Irving has made interesting comments on his mandate in Brooklyn, his relationship with Kevin Durant and James Harden, the disrespect for Kobe Bryant in the ranking and Stephen A. Smith not deserving his $ 100 million contract.
More recently, he revealed that Luka Doncic had lost 24 points in 3 minutes against Grant Williams in practice.
Now, in a complete 180, Irving says that the founder of Microsoft, Bill Gates, has most land and water in the United States.

“I always think it is weird that the Gates family, Bill Gates, has a large part of the earth in the Dakota of the North. I think it’s weird. He has the majority of water in the United States, I think it’s weird. Anyway. For each of his own. This is for information. said Irving.
Gates is the largest private owner of agricultural land in the United States
We do not know what is the full context of the Irving Declaration because this 30 -second clip is the only one that turns around the Internet. But as for its assertion that Gates has a lot of land in northern Dakota, it is true because in 2022, the Farms of Potato Campbell, Northern Dakota, sold 2,100 acres of agricultural land for $ 13.5 million to a company called Red River Trust, which has links with doors.

The agreement has become a subject of controversy, but the Gates company obtained legal approval.
In July 2024, Gates was considered the largest private owner of agricultural land in the United States with 275,000 acres of goods in more than a dozen states in the United States, not only in Northern Dakota. These terrestrial properties are used to cultivate agricultural products such as potatoes, carrots, soy and corn.
Meanwhile, the author Seamus Bruner provided the probable explanation to explain why Kyrie said that Bill also has most of the water in the United States

“When the doors buy tens of thousands of acres, it does not only buy the land – it also buys rights on water under the ground. In addition to farms (and irrigation) and fertilizer, Gates has chased significant interests in the treatment of water and water – a crucial component when it seeks to control the agricultural industry,” Bruner noted in 2023.

But Bill does not control agricultural land in the United States
However, while Gates is the largest owner of private agricultural land in the country, his percentage of ownership of the total agricultural land in the United States represents only 0.03% of the total of 876.5 acres from 2024. Three years ago, Gates also explained why he had raised agricultural land recently.

“I have less than 1/4000 of agricultural land in the United States that I have invested in these farms to make them more productive and create more jobs. There is no large scheme involved – in fact, all these decisions are made by a professional investment team”, “ He said.
To be clear, Irving said he had not mentioned what he had said for informative purposes. But if he tried to insinuate anything by saying that it’s weird, all Gates transactions are legal, unless you wanted to propose a conspiracy theory.
But Kyrie left it there, so leave us too.
