Mark Zuckerberg adds reservoir to his massive Hawaiian estate
NY Post ^ | December 26, 2021 | By Patrick Reilly

Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, have purchased 110 acres of a former sugar plantation reservoir on the Hawaiian island of Kauai.

The agricultural land includes most of the earthen Ka Loko Reservoir, which tragically dumped over 400 million gallons of water when one of its walls failed in 2006, killing seven people...

The new land grab adds to Zuckerberg’s already sizable estate on the island, most of which lies on protected agricultural and conservation land surrounding the couple’s Hawaiian home, Ko‘olau Ranch, according to the Star-Advertiser.

Zuckerberg had previously purchased about 700 acres for $100 million in 2014 and about 600 acres for $53 million in April.

Kauai County property records show that an initial 1,272-square-foot home was built in 2017, with additions in 2019.

In 2017, Zuckerberg filed lawsuits against native Hawaiians who owned nearly a dozen tiny parcels to force them to sell their land at auction so he could “enhance” his privacy.

Residents of the rural community have criticized Zuckerberg’s giant rock walls that block views of the ocean from the area’s main road. Others have accused Zuckerberg’s security detail of harassment at public beaches

He needs to have his citizenship revoked for interfering in a POTUS election.

By the time it’s all said and done, this tool will have to live behind high walls with security pulling perimeter patrols 24/7.

I thought liberals loved indigenous people.

With all the love liberals have for native people you would think he would be building them free houses. But instead here is a white man driving native people off their land. Did he have some killed too ?

He needs to have his oxygen-processing privileges revoked for interfering in a POTUS election.

I don't know why these locals are getting all bent out of shape - The Zucks is only getting "dibs" on his new playground.

We need a "Soon" meme of Zuckerberg looking out of his venetian blinds at the soon-to-be gone kamaaina peasantry, vaxxed and boosted out his Elite life.

That might suit his love of ancient languages, but I think he's more likely to go Full Metal East German Berlin Wall, with automated machine guns, mines, and all the rest.

Why do anything by halfsies?

I am friends with one of the families who had one of these lots. Zuck sent lawyers and private investigators to pit the family members against each other because it had to be a family decision. And with the lawyers to bury them in debt knowing they can’t afford to fight zuck’s billions. He will need security stronger than Ft Knoxx if he ever goes out these. He is probably the most hated person on the island.

Size envy involves many numbers to measure things for comparison. Leftists are famous for being horrid with numbers, but they do very well with linear size measurement, as long as multiplication is kept to a minimum.
