Along with the land they probably bought out the politicians there too. They must be expecting the continental US to be in shambles in the not too distant future.

He wants to own the island and get the b=rabble off so when TSHTF, there will be no one to go after him. He thinks he’s going to be safe that way.

He reckons without God.

Gee... There is a "tropical paradise".

Billionaires are looking for a place to stash billions in value, so it won't disappear in a stock market crash or currency hyper inflation.

Surprise! Surprise! They buy lots of valuable land far from the source of most of the troubles!

Who would have thought it?

No one knows why

Seriously? The guy is worth billions, already has a house nearby, and they can't understand why he wants to buy open, pastureland acreage in a beautiful spot with a fantastic climate?

You have to spend it on something... this person is probably buying real estate all over the world. I would. Real estate is a great inflation hedge.

It’s a win/win for these creeps.

If Globohomo endures, they and their progeny will be at the top of the global heap and suck up the final fruits of human achievement as the rest of the world is trodden underfoot.

Should Globohomo collapse under the weight of its own dystopic madness, they and their progeny will survive as the feudal lords of paradise.

Benioff has often been in the news here, helping with this & that community issues, needs, and insufficiencies. He has donated quite a lot towards our County fire department rescue equipment With the chronic funds shortfalls, that has helped

I bet he bought some property cheap in Lahaina.

Ready for a 15 minute city.

Safest place in breakdown of society scenario. Nobody can easily get there. So once the locals are taken care of or eliminated they’re safe.

I thought Haolis couldn’t buy land in Hawaii, but could only have a 99 year lease. I guess if you have enough money no rules apply to you.

He should enjoy his wealth and power while he still can, because his eternity won’t be so enjoyable, unless he turns to Jesus before it’s too late.
