Mark Zuckerberg the CEO of Meta is developing a sprawling $100 million compound in Hawaii. A WIRED investigation delves into the true scale of this project and its impact on the local community. Located off the two-lane highway on the northeast side of Kauai, the construction site is veiled in secrecy with a 6-foot wall obscuring the view and security measures in place. Workers on the project are bound by strict nondisclosure agreements, and breaches, even on social media, have reportedly led to removal from the project. Interviews with individuals associated with the project coupled with public records and court documents reveal that the 1400-acre compound known as Koolau Ranch has been shrouded in secrecy since Mark Zuckerberg purchased the land in 2014. The compound is estimated to cost over $270 million including the purchase prices of the land and is set to feature a 5000-square-foot underground shelter with independent energy and food supplies. The project has faced criticism for legal maneuvering and political networking and alleged disregard for local public sentiment raising concerns about its impact on the community. Throughout Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan are continuing to develop one of the world's most expensive properties.
