Jeff Bezos does not own an entire Hawaiian island, though he does own a sprawling, multi-million-dollar private estate situated on the southern coast of the island of Maui, near the exclusive La Perouse Bay area. While internet rumors occasionally misattribute the ownership of entire islands to him—likely confusing his holdings with Larry Ellison's purchase of Lanai—Bezos's footprint in Hawaii consists of a massive, luxury residential property acquired to serve as a private retreat for his family.
