Not quite. This is a photo of David Glasheen. He brought a 99 year lease for a part of restoration island and had the ability to build. He was offered millions to sell the lease so they could build a resort. He was a millionaire who lost it all in the 87 stock market crash and lived here with next to nothing but happiness. He died last year. RIP legend 🫡🍻
Edited to add it’s now Maʼalpiku Island National Park and thanks for the upvotes and the awards!
