In a recent episode, John's acid-tongued daughter Beth (Kelly Reilly) meets with Caroline Warner (Jacki Weaver), the CEO of Market Equities, one of the latest aforementioned big, bad corporations hellbent on turning the Duttons' slice of Montana into the next Aspen. Their way of life is portrayed as so pure and salt-of-the-earth, and very American-just cattle, cowboys, horses, and absolutely pristine land. While his methods for fending them off are questionable, any fan of Yellowstone who has faithfully followed along with the Dutton dynasty for four seasons can relate to his predicament. In Yellowstone, the hit Paramount Network drama about a superrich Montana cattle baron and his dysfunctional brood, patriarch John Dutton (played by Kevin Costner) goes to great lengths to protect his colossal ranch-he is the largest landowner in the United States-from big, bad corporations salivating at the prospect of turning so much unspoiled property into the next hot luxury resort.
