If he's smart with his money he'd buy a bigger mower instead of hiring it out.
So 2.2 million acres = 3,437.5 square miles
Based on the U.S. Bureau of the Census, the land area of the two smallest U.S. states are:
The state of Rhode Island = 1,045 square miles
The state of Delaware = 1,954 square miles
So this dude privately owns more land than Rhode Island and Delaware combined, and he's gaining on Connecticut in a one on one, which has 4,845 square miles of land area.
