Mark Zuckerberg has announced he is becoming a farmer - raising a herd of wagyu and angus beef on his Hawaii estate. The billionaire plans to feed them beer and macadamia nut meal.
The land bought by Zuckerberg includes most of Ka Loko Reservoir, which unleashed hundreds of gallons of water in 2006 after its wall collapsed, killing seven including a pregnant woman.
“We have seen Mark and Priscilla’s dedication over the years to land conservation, protecting native species, and working to preserve the natural beauty of Kauai."
Mark Zuckerberg Has Bought Another 600 Acres on Kauai, and Hawaiians Are Pissed
Adding to their already significant land holdings on the Hawaiian island of Kauai, Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan recently closed on another deal adding 600 more acres on the island.
The $53 million deal, just now coming to light, happened in March, and as The Hill reports, the couple purchased the land from a local nonprofit focused on conservation called the Waioli Corporation. Combined with the 700-acre property that Chan and Zuckerberg bought in 2014, they now own 1,300 total acres on the island, or about two square miles. It s not clear whether the new land is adjacent to their existing property, or separate, but it appears to be very close by.
