About Me
Brad Kelley, a Kentucky native and a farmer's son, built a fortune from discount cigarettes. He built Commonwealth Brands, maker of USA Gold and Malibu cigarettes, and sold it for $1 billion in 2001. Kelley has since used that cash to become one of the largest landowners in the U.S., with over 500,000 acres from Hawaii to Florida. Kelley owns historic stud farm Calumet in Kentucky, which had three starters in the 2017 Kentucky Derby.
