Taylor Sheridan, the mastermind behind 'Yellowstone,' announced retirement plans doomed by his sudden obsession with a $330 million ranch—yes, all in cash and no IOUs. Sheridan planned to lounge with show horses on his Weatherford ranch to live his best retired life, but destiny hit hard after filming at Four Sixes Ranch, once owned by Anne Marion, who asked her estate to find someone to 'maintain her vision.' Sheridan, about $300 million short, still straight-faced jokes he can’t retire because of this price tag, reluctantly agreeing to a Paramount deal once fearing greener pastures. Oh, and rumor has it he’s eyeing NBCUniversal next, because switching networks beats actual horseback riding. Meanwhile, the sprawling 142,372-acre Four Sixes Ranch, famous for Angus cattle and quarter horses, came bundled with pricey neighbors Dixon Creek and Frisco Creek ranches. Sheridan even became majority owner by cranking out scripts during pandemic shutdowns, proving that writing your way into a multi-million dollar investment beats a hobby herd any day.
