MacDonald, Richard C., 1945-

Richard “Rich” MacDonald, Jr. developed MacDonald Ranch, one of the oldest master-planned communities in Henderson, Nevada. Originally from Nevada, Rich’s parents, Richard “Mac” MacDonald, Sr. (1924-2014) and his wife Francis MacDonald (1924-2017), lived in Hawaii for twenty years. After Sam Boyd showed the MacDonalds two square miles of property south of Las Vegas, Nevada, they, along with their son Rich, moved back to Las Vegas and began the development of MacDonald Ranch in the early 1980s.
