I Like It I Don't Like It
Tom Ford, the former king of glamour for Gucci and Yves Sain Laurent, is attempting to disrupt oil drilling in New Mexico by purchasing the mineral rights for the land beneath his property.  Ford paid a reported $84,000 for over 1,400 acres.

Ford’s purchase was in reaction to Tecton Energy’s proposal to drill 8 exploratory wells over 101 square miles.  While he did request the state land trust not lease the mineral rights for property near his ranch, the trust is responsible for raising revenue for New Mexico’s public education.

The designer’s property outside of Santa Fe includes a cattle ranch and a western movie set.
