Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg broadens Kauai land ownership
Honolulu Star Advertiser ^ | May 1 ,2021 | Andrew Gomes

Facebook’s billionaire CEO and his wife have nearly doubled their land holdings on Kauai with a recent purchase of 597 acres stretching from the mountains to the sea.

A company owned by Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan recently bought the tract of agricultural and conservation land for $53 million from Waioli Corp., a nonprofit established by descendents of historic Kauai sugar plantation firm Grove Farm, started by the Wilcox family.

The land borders roughly 700 acres Zuckerberg and Chan bought around 2015 for about $100 million to establish a secluded estate in an effort that later angered numerous Native Hawaiian families and other residents when Zuckerberg had lawsuits filed a year later to force the owners of several small parcels within the larger property to sell their land at auction.

The Lear jet leftists expect to form the core of the global Inner Party. There they will continue to enjoy the finest foods and most advanced gadgets the world has to offer — while deciding your fate for you.

If you work very hard and show them your unwavering loyalty you may be permitted to join the global Outer Party. You will be allowed occasional servings of meat and air conditioning — on a rationed basis.

The rest of us will eat insects and swelter — for the good of the planet.

He is a disgusting pig. Forcing natives to sell so he can have privacy while making billions invading and stealing ours!

The vaccines will ensure fewer contraception s so the population will decrease on its own - thereby saving Mother Earth. Leaving more for the Globalist Elites.

Freedom for me but not for thee. He has the same disease that most of these tech billionaires seem to have. It’s probably because when it comes down to it, it was easy money that they didn’t really earn.

The Republican Party used to be known for breaking up trusts. We need to go after Big Tech and break up the monopolies. Amazon, Apple, Facebook and Google. We need to break them up.

Land is a good investment.

Break up Amazon into Amazon.com that sells things. Amazon Web Services will be its own entity. Amazon Prime Video will be a separate company. Bezos will be allowed to keep one company and will have to sell others.
