The world’s sixth-richest man has just bought Hawaii’s sixth-largest island.
Oracle CEO Larry Ellison has bought the majority of the Hawaiian island of Lana’i, reports The Maui Times. With the sale, Ellison will pick up 98 percent of the 141-square-mile comma-shaped island.
The sale was rumored to run between $500 to $600 million, according to a previous report from the Maui Times.

Damn i didnt even know whole islands were for sale in hawaii.
99% are gonna flotilla to the island.
God, it sucks to realize that I'll never know what its like to be that rich.
I think after I bought the island, I would stand by the docks dressed in a white suit and welcome visitors to my island while affecting a thick, Cuban accent.
And I would hire someone short to stand beside me to announce the arrival of the plane.

I picture you more the type of person to have some sort of solar death ray built on top to the place...Originally Posted by Lt-Col A. Tack
The short guy would still be part of the package.
Only a maniacal fiend with plans to take over the world would have such a plan ...
(plus I still haven't quite perfected the Solex agitator)
Pfffffffttttt! 22,000 acres ain't shyyyiiitttt in Texas. We buy that much to park our mob-iiilll homes on. Never ask another Texan the size of his spread.
Everything is for sale if you have enough money.
Lana’i is privately own. Castle & Cooks could use the money very well
Bender....
To be honest, if I had as much money as he does, I'd bought an island as well.
If he buys the remaining 2% as well he could declare independence and make himself a tax haven
Are the 3000 inhabitants included in the price? Or at least a few hula girls to lay foundation to his new tribe.
2% remaining space does seem a bit cramped. Will he put up "No Trespassing" signs? I would
But he probably doesn't have much time to enjoy it.
For me it would be enough playground for the next decades.....so much to do on your own adequate sized island!
Should be against the law for somebody to own an an island.
