‘Yellowstone’ Creator Taylor Sheridan Has a Net Worth of over $70 Million: Here’s How He Spends It
From cattle to cowboy hats, his purchases are just what you would expect
Since the record-breaking rise of the hit show Yellowstone, along with its prequels 1883 and 1923, it is no surprise that its lead writer and creator, Taylor Sheridan, has a net worth of around $70 million. What is a surprise, though, is how he chooses to spend it. We examine what the father of one does with all of his money and how much those purchases cost below.
A look at Taylor Sheridan’s net worth
A humble country man, Sheridan, age 55, is no stranger to life on a ranch. Born and raised in Texas, the cowboy-turned-Hollywood phenomenon is single-handedly responsible for some of the most watched and talked-about shows in the world, including Yellowstone, 1883, 1923 and Landman. Despite all of this success, Sheridan has chosen to spend his earnings from these shows on everyday country things like land, cattle and cowboy hats—none of which are cheap.
Taylor Sheridan’s ranches
One of the most expensive things Sheridan has ever bought is his 6666 (pronounced four sixes) ranch in Texas. It cost him $320 million and spans over 266,000 acres. The ranch remains fully operational to this day, employing about 20 full-time cowboys as well as 50 to 100 seasonal employees to help maintain the cattle—one of which can cost anywhere from $600 to $5,000 depending on its breed, sex and age.
Sheridan does live on the ranch almost full time with his wife Nicole Muirbrook and son Gus.
“He’s [Gus] never on his phone. He’s never on his Xbox. He’s always outside with the dogs, fishing with his buds or roller-skating in the barn,” Muirbrook told Cowgirl Magazine. “He also ropes, so he’s often on horseback. He’s just always doing something.”
As of publication, it is unclear how involved Sheridan is with the cattle production of the ranch. However, given the time and effort he dedicates to creating new, must-see TV shows, we can only imagine he’s out lassoing cows all day, every day, alongside the rest of the ranch’s staff.
Along with the 6666 ranch, Sheridan owns the Bosque Ranch in Parker County, Texas; however, it is far less publicized and focuses more on equine training than cattle farming.
“The recession that began in 2008 highlighted the great flaw of the performance horse industry — it is a participant-driven sport centered around aged events for horses, which essentially means [when] the horse’s show career is over when it turns seven. [Because of] these two factors—a sport designed for the benefit of the professional rider and limiting the major events to horses ages 3-6participation in these events began shrinking,” Sheridan said on their website. “My goal with Bosque Ranch is to create an experience for the spectator while greatly enhancing the opportunities for the riders. In my ‘other’ job, I am a star maker and a career reviver. I will do the same thing in this space—I will make stars of the horses and stars of the riders. I will continue to attract new participants to these various disciplines, but more importantly, I will continue creating an experience that captivates an audience.”
These ranches were featured on Yellowstone and/or 1923.
Taylor Sheridan’s signature cowboy hat
Like any good cowboy, Sheridan is hardly ever seen without his hat on. His favorite brand is the American Hat Company, with which he partnered for the Bosque ranch back in 2022.
“I strive for authenticity in all I do and American Hat Company does the same. All of us at Bosque Ranch are excited about this partnership as we continue striving for excitement and growth in the performance horse industry,” Sheridan said at the time.
It is believed that these hats can range anywhere from $200 to $2,000, and if we know Sheridan, he probably has a whole closet full of them.
Taylor Sheridan’s private plane
Given how wealthy Sheridan is, it would make sense if he owned a private plane; however, there is no record of that anywhere online. There were a few reports a few years back that he flew on one to meet with the Paramount production offices, but it was never confirmed whether that plane was his or someone else’s.
