“Today I bought my father’s farm back,” she wrote on Instagram after sharing a photo of her giving her father, Gordon, the news.

After sharing the news of her purchase. Schumer posted a childhood video of herself running through a field.

“Video from the farm when I was running away in the cornfield and my dad was taunting me because I wanted him to come with me,” she wrote on Instagram. “We lost the farm when we lost everything else. But today I got to buy it back for him.”
