That page ignores the federal government, which dwarfs any of these landowners by far

  It's not in the diagram, but they mention it at the end: > Who owns the most land in the U.S.? While not private landowners, the U.S. federal government owns about 640 million acres of land, which is 28% of the land in the country.

    Approximately 10% as much as the british royals, apparently.

      Considering America started as a much smaller subset of the British commonwealth, I’d say the government is doing pretty well

      The number in that chart is misleading, because it counts all public land (both federal and provincial) in Canada. So, yes, there's more public land in the Commonwealth than the United States federal government has, but it's not actually the royal family's.
