The Pioneer Woman: Black Heels to Tractor Wheels

After 26 years of marriage, Ree and Ladd are still going strong. A lot has changed since the night they first met in that smoky bar, but they still enjoy the simple things in life.

Ree Drummond and her husband Ladd Drummond have been married for more than a quarter of a century — and they are still proving strong.

Ladd Drummond's net worth in 2024 dwarfs his wife's, coming in at an estimated $200 million, per Celebrity Net Worth. This is thanks to his massive land ownership, which Modern Farmer places in the top 100 in the United States, as well as the value of the cattle on his property.

The Pioneer Woman star, 54, posted about the experience on her Instagram Story during what appears to have been a New Year's Eve outing. "I am 54 years old, and I got one of my wisdom teeth pulled 2 days ago," Drummond wrote over a photo with her daughter Paige, 24, and Paige's friend Anna.

She simply exercised regularly, added more protein and vegetables into her diet, cut out alcohol and kept an eye on how many sweets she was consuming. While daily walks with her dogs help her stay active, she credits a rowing machine for building her tone and muscle.

Amid the tumultuous time, the Drummond family began growing wealth through Osage dealings and began amassing the property that placed them in the top 100 landowners in the country.

Some of the biggest single ranches in the Drummond family are the one run by Ree Drummond's husband, Ladd, and his brother Tim, as well as the one run by current Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond.

Pioneer Woman Ree Drummond is officially an empty nester after her youngest, Todd, left for college this fall. She and her husband, Ladd, seem to be holding up OK but she did decide to visit her youngest at school last weekend. Todd, 19, is a football player at the University of South Dakota.

Despite rumors circulating that Ree was looking toward starting a new chapter in her career, she has not made any official announcement about leaving Food Network. The beloved TV personality did make one huge change in her personal life — moving out of the home she raised her kids in.

What happened to Ree Drummond's brother Michael Smith? Michael Drummond passed away on October 30, 2021, aged 54. His cause of death was never publicly released, although a close friend of Michael's named Dan Dalton did mention via a tribute shared on social media that Michael "went fast and did not suffer."

At Drummond, every employee is part of our family. Drummond directly employs more than 6,000 people, many of whom have been with us for over 30 years, and more than 3,500 contractors.

Since 2006, the government has paid the Drummonds an average of $2 million a year to keep burros and wild horses on the estate, with the land going to "support animal protection," the Daily Mail reported.

The Food Network star, 53, shared a post on Instagram Wednesday announcing that her nephew Stuart Smith will no longer be helping her film her beloved cooking series, The Pioneer Woman.
