Founded in 1995, Cascade Investment LLC is a private investment and holding company controlled by Bill Gates and managed by Michael Larson. Cascade is the successor company to Dominion Income Management, the former investment vehicle for Gates' holdings, which was managed by Gates' longtime friend Andy Evans. The firm invests in the public equity, fixed income, and alternative markets of the United States. Cascade also makes venture capital investments. Gates has a massive real-estate portfolio, including a $130 million home in Medina, Washington purchased in 1988 for $2 million. The billionaire owns a 314-acre private island in Belize, and a $43 million beachfront mansion in San Diego. According to published reports, Cascade owns 10% of agricultural and heavy equipment machinery manufacturer, John Deere (Deere & Co).
