S tefan Soloviev is an American agriculture and real estate heir who inherited a vast fortune from his late father, the famously eccentric and litigious New York real estate developer Sheldon Solow. His father was a self-made billionaire who built a small but incredibly valuable portfolio of high-end Manhattan properties, the crown jewel of which is the iconic office tower at 9 West 57th Street. While his father was a quintessential New York City real estate mogul, Stefan has forged a distinct path, focusing his passion and business acumen on agriculture.

Operating under the banner of the Soloviev Group, which he now chairs, Stefan founded a massive farming and ranching operation called the Crossroads Agriculture division. He has become one of the largest private landowners and ranchers in the United States, with vast holdings of farmland and ranchland primarily in Kansas, Colorado, and New Mexico. After his father's death in 2020, Stefan inherited the family's New York real estate empire, which he is now integrating with his extensive agricultural and logistics businesses.
