Comment on Larry Ellison Owns 98% of Lanai Island, Hawaii

Comments

He has money, so he bought it. Free market, capitalism etc etc, I get that part.

That said, why does one man need 140 sq miles of land? Unless it is being used for agriculture or some other net benefit to society, doesn’t this sound grotesque?

I have visited lanai and I feel its mostly to protect it from development. Theres a little town more inland and a four seasons but he could have gone wild by now if that were the angle.
