A vacation home in Hawaii’s Kauai sounds like a dream come true, but property here is rather expensive. Just how much might it cost to purchase a home here in which you can spend long weekends and holidays with the family? It could cost $100 million, which is precisely what Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and his wife reportedly paid for a 700-acre piece of property along the coast in Kauai. The property is actually two different properties sold by two different sellers and put together by the Facebook founder to create a large piece of property. The first of the two pieces of property is a 393-acre property on Pila’a Beach. The second is a 357-acre plot adjacent to a plantation by the name of Kahu’aina Plantation, which completes his large acquisition.
What’s astounding is the fact that there is no home on this large piece of property, which is something that Zuckerberg is expected to rectify soon. This is not the first home that the Facebook founder has purchased with his wife. The couple purchased their first home back in 2011 in Palo Alto, part of the Silicon Valley area, and they remodeled it to meet their specifications. After neighbors complained that the remodel was too loud and annoying, the tech genius decided to buy the four houses surrounding his and his wife’s $7 million home for more than $30 million.
The couple also recently purchased several condo units in a building in Honolulu that have yet to be completed, spending several million dollars. What the 30-year-old billionaire plans on doing with the property and the condos in Honolulu remains a mystery, but we imagine that he’s either planning on using them as vacation homes, or he’s planning on finishing the condos to sell them at a profit to other high-end buyers looking for a great view and a modern home in Honolulu.
