This is a National Science Foundation newsletter from 2009, it says Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation gave the NSF $50 Million. This is old news but $50 million goes a long way.

Now, does this explain why Bill Gates has been buying up all the farm land?
Fair warning, better start growing your own food or you will become a lab rat in the next Bill Gates research experiment.

Most of us who invest in the stock market or provide capital to businesses do not own ALL the stocks or ALL of the business. So it goes with buying land. Most of us do not own 35k acres, but if you wait until you have enough to buy 35k acres you probably won't own ANY land.
Buy land as you buy gold, silver, 2A equipment--over time. Their value appreciates and then your wealth appreciates.
Then you can afford some nice steak and you don't have to eat headgear while others get rich.
