H M S In the news. Avery Hartmans. Ellison is hoping to turn Lanai into a wellness utopia through his company, Sensei. Now, Ellison lives in Lanai full-time and plans to use "the power of Zoom" to work from the island. Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories. The square-mile island, which is eight miles off the coast of Maui, has zero traffic lights and few paved roads, according to Forbes. Compared with other Hawaiian islands, Lanai is secluded — but Ellison has plans to change that: He wants to turn Lanai into a tourist destination.
Lanai already boasts two Four Seasons-run hotels. The island was also home to two golf courses when Ellison bought it, including Manele Golf Course. In , prior to Ellison's ownership of the island, Microsoft cofounder Bill Gates got married at the 17th hole of the course. The other course, Koele, was designed by golfer Greg Norman. The course has since been shut down, and an adventure park and zipline have been installed in its place.
Ellison's Lanai purchase included an animal-rescue center. Because there are no natural predators to cats on Lanai, the feral-cat population at the shelter has ballooned to over cats which Ellison technically owns. In recent years, it's become a travel destination in itself. Ellison's ambitions extend beyond tourism, however: he plans to create "the first economically viable, percent green community," according to The New York Times.
In , Ellison launched a wellness company called Sensei, which is working on three main issues: global food supply, nutrition, and sustainability. The pool area also has a covered entertaining area for large parties or family dinners, according to the listing. The home also has two bedrooms downstairs with a large living room and a second kitchen, which provide a private area for visiting guests. Pathways around the estate can be accessed with two golf carts, included with the purchase, and foot fishing boat can be included with a slip at the Manele Harbor.
Only 13 listings, some of which are undeveloped lots, are currently available. Lanai's initial industry was growing and selling pineapples but was developed by David Murdock, the CEO of Dole, as a ritzy vacation destination.
Dole added two Four Seasons hotels and many of the island's residents shifted to working hospitality-related jobs, Fitch told SFGate. Microsoft founder Bill Gates and his wife, Melinda Gates, were married at one of the resorts. He has since updated the resorts and added improvements to much of the island. The course has since shut down and been replaced by an adventure park and zipline. The Oracle billionaire boasts a massive real estate portfolio and has been called the 'nation's most avid trophy-home buyer' by the Wall Street Journal.

Ellison is the latest Silicon Valley giant to leave California amid the coronavirus pandemic. Ellison, the founder of the software giant Oracle, made the disclosure to employees in a company-wide note on Monday afternoon after Oracle announced that it was moving its headquarters to Austin, Texas.
Ellison, who, more than most tech billionaires, enjoys the high life, owns almost the entire island of Lanai, which he has tried to develop as an environmental and agricultural utopia. He recently launched a new wellness company based on Lanai called Sensei , and the remote island is heavily shaped by his business and philanthropic decisions. California has also been more stringent than other states with its Covid-related restrictions, which has angered Musk.
Ellison has said little about his feelings on those policies, but he has emerged of late as a rare Silicon Valley ally of Donald Trump. Early in the pandemic, Ellison advocated for Trump to push for hydroxychloroquine , a drug with unproven benefits against Covid, as a possible treatment for those with the disease.
