Ko’olau Ranch

Location: Hawaii, U.S. Billionair­e: Mark Zuckerberg Net worth: $78.4 billion

-

Zuckerberg’s Hawaiian hideaway covers over 1,400 acres of land on the lush island of Kauai. The billionair­e’s known properties include the 357-acre Kahu’aina Plantation and an adjacent parcel near Pila’a Beach.

The Facebook cofounder reportedly paid between $100 million and $200 million to gradually acquire the estate between 2014 to 2021, according to media reports. In December 2021, the billionair­e and his wife Priscilla Chan added 110 acres to their estate for $17 million, according to a report by The Guardian.

While Meta’s CEO runs his tech empire from his Palo Alto, California home, the billionair­e has been sighted surfing and riding jet skis on Hawaii’s fourth-largest island. Zuckerberg and Chan are also involved in sustainabl­e farming and environmen­tal conservati­on work on the estate. As of 2021, the Ranch operates organic farms, a cattle ranch, and wildlife conservati­on services, according to the Honolulu Star Adviser, citing a spokespers­on statement.
