Ladd Drummond was born on 22 January, in Nebraska, USA. He is a rancher who’s best known to be the wife of blogger, host, and cook Ree Drummond. Ladd has inherited a large portion of the Drummond farm lands used to raise cattle and horses. His experience as a rancher and the income he gets from his ranch has raised his net worth to where it is today.
How rich is Ladd Drummond? Sources estimate that his net worth is at $8 million, mostly acquired through the success of his ranching business. Ladd has stated that he gets around $100,000 profit from government funding per year and the rest is used by the farm. Some of his wealth may also be due to the success of his wife. He owns around 2,500 head of cattle and horses on top of large acres of land.
Ladd Drummond Net Worth $8 Million
Ladd has been a cowboy and a rancher since he was a small boy. He worked with his father and brother, taking care of the ranch and learning the tricks of the trade. Drummond is a fourth generation rancher, coming from an esteemed family of ranchers that held a large portion of the land near Pawhuska, Oklahoma. Eventually he had the chance to take care of his own farm. He met Ree soon after, and they married in 1996. His net worth would steadily rise from this point.
His wife would soon gain a significant amount of popularity under the name “The Pioneer Woman”, a blog which showcases their life on the ranch, which gained a significant following and would later prompt the creation of social media pages. It even gave Ree the opportunity to be part of the Food Network, and she later released a cookbook that features the food she cooks on the ranch for Ladd.
Ladd has been encountering numerous criticisms from ranchers and other concerned citizens, after it was revealed that the government was spending millions of tax dollars in order to fund ranchers like Ladd Drummond. According to the law, money is spent to fund each mustang for each day of the entire year. The computations have led many to believe that Ladd earns millions of dollars per year based on government funding alone. He has denied this, however, and has stated that he earns only a little but many are still skeptical. A lot of people don’t believe his statements since supplies for the farm in a year do not cost a million dollars. These along with some questionable ranching practices have resulted in the ire of many, especially on the internet. Another issue that’s been mentioned is the fact that the local government has been going easy on the family. One such example is the large number of speeding tickets to their name, many of which have subsequently been dismissed.
Ladd and Ree have four children, all of whom are home schooled. He mentions that they enjoy fantasy football and that they dedicate most of their time to the ranch. A bit of information is also revealed from his wife’s blog but not so much as to reveal things that may be too personal.
