Hawaii is a destination dreamed by most of the people. The state is best known for its good weather, perfect setting, magnificent views, beautiful blue waters, and exquisite cuisine.
According to US China News, more than eight million visitors come to the Hawaiian Island every year. Most noticeable are the billionaires who are in the market for their next vacation home. They spend large amounts of money to have a slice of paradise that they can call their own. However, tech elite Mark Zuckerberg brought a lawsuit against hundreds of Hawaiians in an effort to buy the islanders out of their parcels on his 700-acre oceanfront estate. Tech elite Mark Zuckerberg had to drop the lawsuit because he received multiple threats of protest outside his gates.
Business Insider reported that Mark Zuckerberg is not the only tech elite with a multimillion dollar estate. Tech elite Paul Allen, the co-founder of Microsoft, once owned an entire private island, but despite that, he also bought property on the Big Island of Hawaii. The property was move-in ready, with a 12,000 square foot main house, living quarters for employees, a private harbor, and a bridge that connects to a small island.
Marc Benioff, CEO of Salesforce, also owns a property on the Big Island. His property contains around ten structures that overlook piles of black lava rocks and the Pacific Ocean. The PayPal co-founder has a property in Maui for which he spent whopping $27 million. The property is made up of four interconnected pavilions curled around a courtyard.
Tech elite Michael Dell, the CEO of Dell Technologies, owns the “Raptor Residence”. The tropical getaway comprises three lots atop the longest stretch of waterfront in Kukio. Even the richest people have a hard time topping Oracle’s Larry Ellison, who purchased the island of Lanai. Reportedly, Ellison bought 98% of the island because he wanted to experiment with environmentally sound ways to live.
