2015 Land Report 100: Collier Family
No. 28 Collier Family
280,000 acres
After earning a cool million in advertising during the Jazz Age, Barron Collier lent his name to Florida’s 62nd county as he set about buying up acreage; his great-grandchildren continue to guide the clan’s diverse agribusiness efforts into the 21st century. Ongoing interests include mineral management and agriculture throughout the Sunshine State, including the USDA organic-certified Collier Family Farms near Naples.
