Best Answer

He didn’t buy the land. First his father had a plantation in Virginia and inherited Mount Vernon from his brother. He also married the richest widow in the colonies. At the end of the French and Indian war he got 58,000 acres through getting a document signed by his commanding officer giving him the land.
