Mark Zuckerberg is suing "a few hundred people" on the Hawaiian island of Kauai who have inherited the rights to portions of land he now owns, according to the Honolulu Star Adviser.

Zuckerberg two years ago purchased 700 acres of beachfront land on Kauai for $100 million with the intent of creating a secluded vacation oasis for his family. Except, the land he purchased isn't all that secluded, and now he's suing to change that.

The lawsuits target individuals, living and dead, "who inherited or once owned interests in what are known as kuleana lands where ownership is often largely undocumented," the report notes.

The Zuckerberg-controlled companies Pilaa International LLC, Northshore Kalo LLC, and High Flyer LLC on Dec. 30 filed eight so-called "quiet title" lawsuits aimed at forcing the targeted individuals to sell their land at a public court auction to the highest bidder. The lands, originally acquired by Hawaii citizens Kuleana Act of 1850, are often passed down from generation to generation without documentation.

This type of legal action is common in Hawaii, according to the Honolulu Star Adviser, but critics say it has reduced Native Hawaiian landownership.

"Even with an order from a judge and financial compensation, forcing people to sell land that has been in their families for generations can be off-putting — especially when it's driven by the sixth-richest person in the world," the newspaper pointed out.

Meanwhile, this isn't Zuckerberg's only real estate woe as of late. The city of Palo Alto, Calif. in September rejected his plans to demolish and rebuild four homes he owns around his main residence, according to CNN. His idea was to create a compound with several adjacent homes where friends and family could stay, but the city's advisory board nixed the idea over local zoning codes which prohibit single lots from being larger than 20,000 square feet.
