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

STEALING THE MIDTERM ELECTIONS requires that Zuckerbucks increases his house’s buffer zone for his safety.

I believe those efforts failed. Hawaii has some strange land laws.

How about THIS getting a little more attention from the "woke" and white privilege crowd??

Like it's owned in trust irrevocably for the native Hawaiians.

Hawaii never should have been a state.

Zuckerberg needs to study what happened to wealthy landowners when Stalin, Mao, Castro, Pol Pot and Ho came to power.

I think this is his version of prepping. He is preparing for the population control, and he wants his ‘safespace’.

Non-Hawaiians can buy land but when you get these scattered parcels within larger parcels the owner of said larger parcels must allow access. I forget the proper names for the ancient system.

So native Hawaiians don’t like haulis. Anybody wonder why?

Is Zuckerberg a haoli? I was sure he was at least 1/1024th Native Hawaiian...

Misleading to characterize that as some obscure, "ancient" system.

It's called an "access easement," and is thoroughly encoded in U.S. law, too.

NCIS Hawai’i had a show about the rich guy that moved in a took over the “native” lands. Of course he wasn’t the ultimate killer but his head of security was(as I recall). Heavily featured in the show was the native lands movement there.

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.

Anyone have a spare Javelin missile? Try to secure that perimeter.
