you left off where on Oahu that Richard Chamberlain lives
Did Kris Kristofferson and Buffy Sainte Marie escape the 2023 fire? I would very much appreciate an answer to my question. Thank you, Kelly
Singer/Songwriter Kenny Loggins had a home he built on Hawaii Island
Remember when the Hawaiians declared that they had sacrificed one island ( i.e. Oahu late 1970’s) and that they would not sacrifice another ? Yet based on the above article and enumeration of the extravagant ownership of properties by the “rich & famous ” celebrities; the Hawaiian Islands have become their playground and an extension of the state of California.
Sadly the majority of the newcomer hau’olis have not grasped their contribution to the commercialization and desecration of the Hawaiian culture.
I stayed on the island of Lanai in the late 1980s when there was only 1 hotel in lanai city . I believe it only had 14 rooms. I stayed with a friend in a private residence on the island. He knew the only police officer on the island and i was shown their jail which was about the size of an outhouse. I spent 2 weeks there and drove down to a beach daily. Now they have other hotels that have spoiled that little paradise.
David Bowie owned a house in wailea, Maui.
George Harrison lived in Hana, Maui
Aloha Dont Forget Mr. Steven Tyler I’ve personally seen and stood next to in Waikiki several times
Rhonda Rousey and Travis Browne in Molokai, Carissa Moore in Honolulu, Sigourney Weaver and Matthew Mcconaughey in Lanai, Robin Wright and Mark Rolfing in Kapalua.
I met Jane Wielden of the go-go’s at my home! She purchased furniture from me! She lives on The big island Kona side!
My husband met Neil Young at Hapuna Beach. He has a home there with his wife Daryl Hannah.
Friend ran into Nathan Fillion (Firefly, Castle) in Hana, asking about the diving conditions. Was lapped by Steven Tyler in an old rebuilt pickup coming down Haleakala.
Kirk Hammet of Metallica is “rumored” to live in Waimanalo. I swear it isn’t him. That guy wears Birkenstock’s.
I heard that David Draiman of Disturbed lives in HI, but I don’t know which island
Neil Young, at Puako on the Big Island — not that I’ve seen him. But that’s what’s said in Hilo.
I think you should expose Mark Benioff whose living his entire corporate business from the Bay Area to the big island, and telling everyone it’s just temporary to train the locals, buying them houses in waimea which moved hundreds of locals out of Hawaii because he was paying cash he will also be running the rent up in surrounding commercial areas, he is not supporting surrounding small businesses or locals unable to afford homes now and he is even outsourcing his security guards!
Laird Hamilton at Joe’s on the Green,Kauai.
Pierce Brosnan at the old Borders Books and on the beach outside his home,Kauai
Chris Noth at Honolulu Airport. Was on the same Hawaiian Airlines flight to LAX
Name droppers!!!!! (LOL)
The posting about Sylvester Stallone selling a home he owned on Kauai for 1.9 million in 1996 that sold again in 2021 for 8.5 million gave the impression that he should have held on to it and his sale wasn’t a good deal. However, holding on to that property would have only reaped him a little over a 6% increase on his money. I beleive he would have done better if his money was invested in the Stock Market during those 25 years and not have had to pay for maintenance, taxes, and other costs.
Lifted weights with Dick Van Dyke at the Outrigger canoe club weight room.
Rosanne Barr … Big Island. That fits

What do you mean! We are the best island. More to do. 11 climates out of 13 world wide and you can fit all the islands on the big island and still have that much left over!
It was a joke, you don’t need to “slap” Bongars

Hello,

Thank you!

Hi Nancy.
Thanks – that’s corrected.
Aloha.
How many of the properties, except 1 if “developed properly,” could typical residents afford to buy? How many not owned by Stars in this price range could be? How many can afford a rent, if any exists, in these areas? I’m making the point that people from many walks of life vie for space in Hawaii. That fact, coupled with some others, is what has driven property costs beyond what most find affordable. Changing the way business is done in real estate development may provide lasting answers of affordability.
