The richest man owns X.
The second and fourth richest men control Google.
The third richest man owns The Washington Post.
The fifth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

See the problem here?
Yep. National parks and reserves are also a great way to do it (providing you don't get some f-wit administration changing their status).
My wife does nature conservation work under the German nature conservation credits scheme ("Ãkokonto").
Basically this encourages land owners to carry out conservation projects under professional guidance. The equivalent of the EPA then comes in, values the scheme and the landowner gets credits that they can then trade to developers who want to build on green fields and are required by law to offset the damage they do.
It's also a bit of a two-edged sword as the developers get to do what they want (at a price) and the landowners get to earn extra revenue on land that would otherwise not really use.
However, as a conservationist you get to do some really cool stuff like networking habitats for endangered species etc.
Too bad tho, that this is how forest gets preserved.

Reed Hastings exiting Netflix (after being an absentee co-CEO for many years). Next day Netflix announces price increases on their services (probably to fund a bonus for his replacement).
If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.
Democracy dies in oligarchy.
