In 2012, billionaire Larry Ellison paid $300 million to own most of the land, homes, and businesses on the island of Lanai. Now, his residential leases reportedly make it so that, if a renter is fired from one of his business, then they can lose their housing, too. Additionally, families who've lived on Lanai for generations have been pushed out as wealthier people move in.
$100 million for 700 acres on Kauai, but that plot included about a dozen small parcels that Hawaiian residents had right to. Two years later, he sued those families in a"quiet title and partition," which sought to force them to auction off their land.While some people supporting him for taking the route that would ensure compensation for the people losing their land, he was widely criticized by locals, government officials, and even neighbors.,"This is the face of neocolonialism.
