- Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, has expanded his Ko'olau Ranch estate on Kauai to over 2,300 acres as of early 2025.

- This expansion raises tensions reflecting broader conflicts between wealth and indigenous rights, with critics framing Zuckerberg's acquisitions as neocolonialism amid transformations reshaping Kauai irreversibly.
