Mark Zuckerberg Wants To Be A Feudal Lord Too, Damn It
Zuck's coming for you, Ellison.
Facebook founder and billionaire Mark Zuckerberg (a human who is 30-and-one-half years-old) is reportedly the buyer of 375 acres on the North Shore of the Hawaiian island of Kauai, a parcel that was recently on the market for $75M. According to a "source" of Pacific Business News, the acreage that Zuckerberg bought for a "likely" $66M is deeded and entitled to hold "80 homesites with approved roads," meaning the Zuck could very well be poised to create his own Hawaiian mega-compound on what the brokerbabble describes as "the most picturesque of the Hawaiian Islands." [...] Perhaps the Zuck is finally taking cues from fellow tech titan Larry Ellison—and, really, he's the only person Zuckerberg, who is worth some $33 billion, can look up to: the Oracle founder has a net worth of $46B, owns no less than 10 properties on Malibu's "Billionaire's Row," and spends his free time playing God on his own 90,000-acre Hawaiian island, which he bought for some $300M in 2012.
