Checking on the 1%

Decided to checkout the 1% this morning. The 1% being Paul Allen. We think he is at his beach house. The beach house he uses for 2 weeks a year. He usually has one of his big ass yachts brought over and flies in on one of his planes. He used to have a 747. Don’t know what his “best” plane is these days. And, we haven’t seen his yachts this year. Just a Zodiac.

The beach house is on 10 acres. It is a gated estate inside a gated community. But, this is Hawaii. You can get pretty close one foot – after about a 2 mile walk. (Or you can swim by his private harbor.)

Today – I did the walk thing. As soon as I go in front of Mr Allen’s property, a very large security dude showed up. He spent much time talking on his radio about the “subject”. I was too chicken to take pictures. But, I sat down on the beach. The poor security dude had to stand about 10 feet away from me. Observing the “subject”.

I walked back out along the beach in front of the gated community. The gated community security guy came looking for me. He wanted to know if I was the “subject” who had upset Mr. Allen’s guards. Yep, that would be me.  Dangerous old haole woman, exercising my Hawaiian right to beach access.

Some of the dirt on Mr Allen’s real estate holdings.
