Thread: Oracle CEO Ellison to Buy Most of Hawaiian Island Lanai 2. Thread: Lifestyles of the rich and famous- Oracle's Ellison to buy Lanai island, Hawaii It is not a small story and it should be pinned for greater commentary. The first posting is in error, he cannot "buy the people," who live on the island. He will own some 97-98 per cent of the land there.
