Billionaire Larry Ellison, the 3rd richest American according to Forbes, has purchased Lanai which is the 6th largest Hawaiian island.
At $500,000,000 it was quite a steal considering it breaks down to a tiny 0.13 cents a square foot. A great 500 million USD investment by the Oracle CEO.
Lanai is a destination of untouched tranquility, relaxation and tranquility. A golfers paradise, no distraction or hustle and bustle like Oahu.
This romantic island is a true getaway, though they also have a Four Seasons five star hotel.
The rich get richer. Congratulations, Mr. Ellison on obtaining Hawaii’s most enticing island. Well played sir and Aloha.

Wall St. banks WMFD weapons of mass financial destruction to the poor while the rich get richer.
The loss of America’s AAA credit score has sparked panicked sell-offs on global markets. French banks are loaded with toxic derivatives and hedge funds are attacking them. Societe Generale is an insolvent institution, so is BNP.
By downgrading you create volatility. Volatility is the goal.That is making the 1% in New York and London very, very rich. That is the goal, milk the system and extract wealth.
“ This is part of a new era on Wall St. where they go after sovereign debt. The hedge funds and the ratings agencies and Wall St. banks work together now to destabilize the sovereign debt of countries.
You have to understand. This is a war. This is WW3. This is the new war using financial derivatives.” – Max Keiser
Wall Street bankers are using WMFD weapons of mass financial destruction on the masses while they get rich in the process.
65 negatives of world famous photographer Ansel Adams were bought at a garage sale in Fresno, California for only $45.
The photos have been verified as Ansel Adam’s early work, thought to have been lost in a 1937 Yosemite fire, and are now valued at over $200,000,000 [$200 Million]
Ansel Adams is best known for his stunning black and white photography – in particular – his western America landscapes. He passed away in 1984 at the age of 82.
The 6.5 x 8.5 inch glass plate negatives of famous Yosemite landscapes and San Francisco landmarks made an interesting journey from Ansel Adams’ own collection to a Pasadena, Ca. unclaimed storage / warehouse salvage sale and ultimately to a Fresno, Ca. garage sale.
One fortunate man has parlayed a $45 investment into a $200 Million cash cow.
George Michael Steinbrenner III “The Boss” was majority owner and managing partner of Major League Baseball’s New York Yankees for the past 37 years.
Steinbrenner died after suffering a massive heart attack in his Tampa home on the morning of the 81st All-Star Game.
His beloved Yankees won 7 MLB World Series and 11 AL Pennants on his watch. Known as a hands-on baseball executive, he earned the nickname “The Boss.”
In one of the shrewdest sports investments ever, Steinbrenner turned an $8.8 Million Dollar investment in 1973 into a $1.6 + Billion cash cow today.
The Boss lived and played the game of life with passion. He was perhaps the best winner and worst loser.
The New York Yankee billionaire was known for the two word tag line You’re Fired, long before the New York real estate billionaire Donald Trump.
George Steinbrenner helped to revolutionize the business of baseball by being the first owner to sell TV cable rights [MSG] now on YES network and first to drive up the prices of free agent talent.
The Yankees continue to be run by his sons Hank and Hal Steinbrenner. RIP.
