Taylor Sheridan: I have a giant state park that I’m financing myself | Invest 2026
Taylor Sheridan tells Brian Sozzi how he came to own the Four Sixes, the most storied ranch in Texas. Its owner died while he was driving out to film there, the will said break it up and sell it unless somebody would carry on her vision, and the ranch came to him first. He had spent years refusing an overall studio deal to stay independent. He called Paramount, took the deal, and bought it. Then he restructured the place like a turnaround: out of the cattle commodity business, out of racehorses, into finished beef and restaurants. Figures here are his own.
