Exclusive: Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg buys more Hawaii oceanfront property

-


Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has purchased more oceanfront land in Hawaii that’s located within the hundreds of acres he already owns on the island of Kauai, Shimogawa Scoops has learned.
The billionaire has been pretty successful in his controversial attempt to gain full control of the oceanfront lands he purchased a few years ago on Kauai’s North Shore.
More than a year ago, Zuckerberg, who is one of the richest men on the planet, made headlines around the world for filing lawsuits against small landowners within his hundreds of acres on the Garden Isle to force these landowners to sell their lands to him.
However, after much pushback, Zuckerberg decided to drop his lawsuits and proceeded through other processes.
One of those main steps, though, includes buying those small parcels from its owners. It’s something that continued throughout last year, including the latest sale happening just a couple of weeks ago, involving a 33,106-square-foot parcel with a 552-square-foot building on it for $1.825 million, public records show.
Of the more than 35 smaller pieces of land within his large chunks of land, Zuckerberg still does not own six parcels comprising a total of about seven acres, which are owned by two separate owners.
A few years ago, Zuckerberg purchased about 710 acres of land in Kilauea for more than $100 million.
