Inside Ree Drummond's $200 Million Oklahoma Ranch—Just Like 'Yellowstone'

Inside Ree Drummond's $200 Million Oklahoma Ranch—Just Like 'Yellowstone'

Yahoo16-07-2025
It's no secret that Ree Drummond—a.k.a The Pioneer Woman—loves her Oklahoma-based ranch. Not only does it serve as the background for her shows, The Pioneer Woman and Drummond Ranch, but it is also where the mom of four raised her children and now her grandchildren as well! But what exactly does the ranch look like? And does the Drummond family really have a wide variety of animals that they take care of? We look into all of that and more below!
Where is the Drummond ranch?
Despite the fact that Ree is one of the people heavily associated with the ranch, the land itself belongs to her husband Ladd's family. Spanning back five generations, the Pawhuska, Oklahoma-based ranch is home to Drummond Land & Cattle Co., which Ladd and his brother Tim run. It also houses a number of their extended family members and even has a small cemetery where several generations of past Drummmonds have been buried.
Additionally, the ranch serves as the backdrop for her new YouTube show, Drummond Ranch. which highlights what working on the ranch is like.
'We have always wanted to show more ranching and agricultural moments in my cooking show, but because it's a cooking show (obviously!), we were always limited in the amount of time we could spend on the non-food component,' Ree wrote on her website in June. 'You'll see cowboys, weather, the dynamic between Ladd and his brother Tim, and you'll hear about the different kinds of cattle operations, markets and what it's like in a family where all the kids are growing up and trying to figure out what role they will play in the ranch's future.'
How much is the ranch worth?
The ranch is estimated to make $2 million annually and is valued to be worth around $200 million.
Along with the ranch, Ree also has The Lodge, which is where family dinners and filming for her Food Network show The Pioneer Woman are held.
'The Lodge is 18 miles out of town on an unpaved road. I thought somebody would get a flat tire,' Ree said via her website. 'But Ladd pointed out that people are coming all the way to Pawhuska to visit our store and restaurant. He wanted to expand their experience.'
Ree also explained that while The Lodge is a very homey place, it's not her home even though she films there. "I decided to do it there because I often used The Lodge kitchen for events and gatherings... and because my house was full of kids at the time!" she said on her website.
The Lodge is available for free public tours, and you can find out more information on how to go on one here!
Another part of the house that Ree loves is her backyard gardens, which she always posts videos about her Instagram, one of which you can watch below!
And finally, what's a multimillion-dollar home without a gym? And in true Ree fashion, hers is both lavish and understated at the exact same time. We just wonder which machine is her favorite!
A look at the animals on The Drummond Ranch
One thing Ree loves is animals, and her ranch is home to a variety of them. Her most talked-about animals are, of course, her seven dogs, which she loves more than anything.
'They [her dogs] set up shop on the front porch,' Drummond said in 2022. 'They each have their own little bed on the front porch. They're outdoor dogs mostly anyway, and they have a whole barn to themselves if they want to go sleep in the barn sometimes, but they hardly ever leave the porch if we're home. It's really funny.'
The family also has several different types of cattle as well as other, less talked about farm animals.
'When it comes to working cattle, my philosophy is this: if they need me, I'll jump right in and start working. But if they don't, I really don't have any desire to symbolically 'be in the pen,' Ree wrote on her website in 2008. 'I will be there if I'm needed. But if I'm not contributing anything to the overall progress, I'd just as soon sit on the sidelines on my keister and do what I do best: be utterly and unabashedly worthless. But I'm OKAY with that! I really am. Don't cry for me. I am at one with my worthlessness?'

Country Star, 49, Was Once the Only Boy in Beauty Pageants – and It Nearly Ended His Career

Country Star, 49, Was Once the Only Boy in Beauty Pageants – and It Nearly Ended His Career originally appeared on Parade. is one of country music's biggest names, but the Oklahoma native almost turned away from his career before it even began all thanks to his time in beauty pageants. When he was a small child, Shelton was so desperate to sing that his mom would put him in beauty pageants to give him an opportunity on stage. 'Can't you tell that I'm beauty pageant material?' Shelton joked during an appearance on the 'Q With Tom Power' podcast. 'I had two signature songs back then. I think I was probably seven years old and I was probably, in Ada, Oklahoma, the only boy in the entire pageant, you know? My two songs were 'Old Time Rock 'N Roll' and 'Cat Scratch Fever' by Ted Nugent.' The 'Stay Country or Die Tryin'' singer added that neither he nor his mom really knew what 'Cat Scratch Fever' was about and said that he 'literally thought it was about somebody's house cat scratching them and making them sick.' 'I was so embarrassed and humiliated by being in those pageants, I told her, 'Mom, I don't want to sing anymore because it's just embarrassing and my friends are going to find out,'' Shelton continued. 'But I quit after that because it was just embarrassing, and it wasn't until I was probably 12 or 13 that I started wanting to perform again.' Once Shelton's mom knew how he really felt about being in the beauty pageants, she began entering him in 'little Opry type hometown shows around Ada.' Her persistence paid off and eventually Shelton was performing with a variety of different stars like Kentucky Head Hunters and Travis Tritt. Thankfully, that's all it took to change his mind. 'I was getting to do some country music, you know, and by then, in my mind, there was no stopping me. This is what I was going to do." 🎬 SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox 🎬 Country Star, 49, Was Once the Only Boy in Beauty Pageants – and It Nearly Ended His Career first appeared on Parade on Jul 25, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jul 25, 2025, where it first appeared.

‘I've failed you': S.F. chef apologizes after viral clash with influencer

The San Francisco chef at the center of a viral social media controversy issued a public apology Sunday for a recent incident involving a TikTok influencer. Meanwhile, the restaurant in the dustup, Kis Cafe in Hayes Valley, announced its last night of service was Saturday and that it is now permanently closed, according to its Instagram account. Luke Sung was ousted as chef and co-owner of Kis Cafe last week after he drew widespread online condemnation for his treatment of a food influencer identified as @ItsKarlaBB. The incident is the latest to highlight the fraught relationship between restaurants and influencers, who can help promote them — or, in this case, close them. 'Hi everyone — I am Luke Sung,' began the apology posted to Kis Cafe's Instagram page. 'It was important for me to first apologize to Karla privately and step away from Kis Cafe before publicly apologizing.' Sung acknowledged being 'condescending, hurtful, and intimidating' to the influencer during her visit for a planned promotional dinner. @itskarlabb its a long video and not something i would normally upload but i feel like i had to talk about this experience. i basically ran out of there but i wish i would've stood up for myself. if you are a micro influencer i know it's easy to feel discouraged at times but don't let anyone make you feel small or unimportant!! ♬ original sound - itskarlabb Her emotional account of the encounter — shared Wednesday in a TikTok video that has since amassed over 20 million views — accused Sung of belittling her content and follower count, which stood at 15,000 at the time. That number has since surged past 350,000. According to the influencer, after briefly glancing through her TikTok profile, the chef dismissed her work. 'After scrolling, like, two times, he says to me that he doesn't think my videos are at the level at which he wants his restaurant represented,' she said in her video. He then criticized her audience, she said. 'He goes on to say that my audience and my followers are not the kind of people that are going to be at his restaurant,' she said. 'It seemed like he was insinuating that my followers would not be able to afford to eat at this restaurant.' The encounter escalated further when Sung asked if she knew who he was. She said she didn't. 'He says he's a James Beard Award recipient or finalist or something, and I'm like 'great, like, I don't know what to say to that,'' she said. Sung reportedly followed by citing his daughter's online presence, telling the influencer that she wasn't on the same level as his daughter, Isabelle 'Isa' Sung, who he said had 600,000 TikTok followers. 'I told him I felt disrespected and didn't want to collaborate anymore,' she said in her video. In his apology, Luke Sung stated, 'There are no excuses to be made. I've decided it's time for me to step away from Kis Cafe permanently and in all capacities.' The fallout has been swift. Kis Cafe, which opened in May, initially apologized on Thursday and confirmed Sung was no longer affiliated in 'any way.' 'I also want to be clear the responsibility of this whole situation is mine alone and my behavior should not be a reflection on anyone else who works there, or anyone who is related to me,' Sung wrote. 'I truly care about my staff and am devastated that my actions have impacted both them and their families.' Yelp and Google reviews of both Kis Cafe and Sung's former restaurant Isa, in the Marina District, have been inundated with one-star ratings. Sung also addressed his staff and family, notably his daughter. 'I am sorry I put you in this position,' he wrote. 'I've failed you in the worst way.'
