权贵们几乎把夏威夷霸占完了吧？ https://www.kauaitravelblog.com/mark-zuckerberg-kauai-property/ In September 2014, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg bought two adjacent properties on Kauai’s North Shore. Zuckerberg paid $49.6 million for 350 acres that includes the area above Pila’a Beach. Zuckerberg also purchased the 357 acre Kahu’aina Plantation, a former sugar plantation, for $66 million. In March 2021, Mark Zuckerberg and wife purchased an additional 595.4 acres for $53 million from the nonprofit Waioli Corporation. This property is adjacent to the land bought in 2014. The land fronts Larsen’s Beach and is what you see from Larsen’s Beach Road. (Larsen’s Beach Road is owned by the county and access will remain open to the public.) The land will continue to be used for cattle ranching. In November 2021, Zuckerberg and wife added 110 acres to their Kauai real estate holdings, paying $17 million for land that includes a former sugar plantation and the Ka Loko reservoir. With this purchase, Zuckerberg and wife now own approximately 1,412acres on Kauai. 四面环水，易守难攻，多清静。什么夏威夷啊，加勒比啊，都是这些人最钟爱的地方。电影Sound of Freedom里面不也是找个岛去搞工作么。
本周二，扎克伯格在脸书上发表了一篇文章，透露了他对这块土地更多的计划：他宣布自己将“进军农业”，在Ko''olau牧场养一群牛，这些牛吃的是自家种的食物，且饲养成本昂贵得令人难以置信。
https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=10115412226072201这位脸书创始人写道：“我的目标是生产出世界上最高品质的牛肉。这些牛都是和牛和安格斯牛，它们将吃着我们在牧场种植的夏威夷果粉、喝当地酿造的啤酒长大。”
什么是和牛？和牛是日本的几个牛种，以昂贵和美味而闻名，一头活牛的价格可高达3万美元。至于夏威夷果粉，这是地球上最昂贵的坚果之一的碎末。没错，你口中的美味就是扎克伯格的牛饲料。
他还在帖子中写道，每头牛每年要吃掉5,000至1万磅的食物。他承认，给这些牛喂食磨碎的坚果需要大面积的果树。
我们来算一笔账。一棵成熟的夏威夷果树每年可生产约65磅坚果，耗水量约为4800加仑。假使只喂夏威夷果，一头扎克伯格养的牛理论上可以吃掉154棵树的产量，即每年需要约74万加仑的水。即使夏威夷是在世界上最潮湿的岛屿之一，最好还是希望这里经常下雨吧。
夏威夷的夏威夷果种植业很普遍。但这种甜腻的坚果通常是卖给人吃的，而不是用来养牛的。
然而，这位富豪在考爱岛的起步并不顺利。此前，他建造了一堵6英尺高的围墙想要围住自己的产业，这一行为让当地人感到不安。然后他又提起了静默产权诉讼，试图从夏威夷家庭手中得到土地。2017年，他在考爱岛报纸《花园岛》（The Garden Island）的专栏文章中为这些诉讼道歉，并从2018年起向考爱岛的慈善事业投入了数百万美元。
本周二是他在该岛的新动作，他在脸书的帖子上写道，他希望自己养牛的整个流程是“本地化的、垂直整合的”，并发布了一张自己和两块巨大牛肉的照片。
扎克伯格说，他和华裔妻子普莉希拉·陈（Priscilla Chan）的女儿正在帮助种植夏威夷果树，并照顾不同的动物。他说：“我们现在还处于起步阶段，每一季都有进步，这很有趣。”
他表示，养牛是自己所有的项目中“最美味的一个”。
