Where’s the donations from all the multi-millionaire actors and actresses who work there? Why don’t they pay for it?

Wheres the donations from all the multi-millionaire actors and actresses who work there? Why dont they pay for it?That's what I don't understand. Then again, they might be for the bulldozing of it because it presents itself as an environmental eyesore.

It's basically a knife-edge ridge falling to steep slopes, so short of bulldozing the entire top, the buildable area isn't that great
