Mark R. Herron serves as the manager (and listed member) of 7505 Makena Road, LLC. city-data.com He has held this role since at least April 2011, per Hawaii business filings.

Box in Incline Village, Nevada (the same area tied to the prior owners). city-data.com Connection to the Davidsons Herron is the President and CEO of The Davidson Group, the investment management and philanthropic office for Robert (“Bob”) and Janice (“Jan”) Davidson, the educational software entrepreneurs (known for titles like Math Blaster and Reading Blaster). davidsonacademy.unr.edu The Davidsons owned the property (known as Pono Kai’a Estate) until selling it in May 2022 for $26.49M—the highest residential sale on Maui that year. The listing notes extensive upgrades “under the current owner” since then, including the 2024 Tesla Solar Roof, implying the buyer has held it via this LLC. nevadaappeal.com Given Herron’s long-term role managing the LLC and his position with the Davidsons, the property is effectively controlled by or affiliated with the Davidson family/entities (common for privacy and asset management in high-net-worth holdings).

I want to introduce you to Steve. He’s 83. His wife died a few months ago and he comes to this lodge in Spring Mill, Indiana and draws. He taught art in Terre Haute, IN his whole life. He also did courtroom sketches in court cases. In the comments I’ll share some pics from his sketchbook. He was excited when I said I was going to share his sketches with the world.

Buckle up folks

Just went to the grocery store Front doors were locked Dozens of angry customers trying to get food The manager came out “Sorry everyone - but a wealthy trillionaire has bought out our entire supply tonight,” he said. “Try again next week.” Everyone outside began to clamor Some threw rocks at the window “We’ve tried 6 other grocery stores! All of them said the same thing!” Starving children cried Through a window, I caught a glimpse inside It was Elon Musk gorging himself on canned beans, sliced turkey, and jars of mayonnaise He will consume 20 billion calories tonight while hundreds of regular people in the area will go hungry This is really what America has become

This is crazy work. Aerial vs Street View Same house

I been matching with big girls on tinder and selling them peptides Up $11k this week just on reta.

Nope.

Few.

I don’t buy property because I think the value will go up. I buy property because I can make the value go up.

Kinda lame that Google makes the powerlines almost invisible in the aerial photo Looks like a park… This is the aerial of that house

The bar in the background used to be called The Purple Shamrock. Every Saturday, the worst people in Boston (myself included) would show up here. We’d drink 17 Long Island ice teas, throw up in a corner, get in a fight over nothing, and then try to take home some chick named Tammy-Lynn from Medford. Tammy-Lynn had a lower back tattoo of barbwire with a rose in the middle, smeared MAC eyeliner, and a Parliament hanging out of her mouth. She dropped out in 10th grade, would probably try to stab you if she had too many Jagerbombs (her favorite), but in the glow of the streetlights in Faneuil Hall, she was a goddess. Before for getting in a cab back to her place, her juice head ex boyfriend shows up. Richie’s wearing a wife beater, gold chain, a Von Dutch hat and asking “you wanna die, mutherfucker?!” Deciding not to risk you life for an unstable 6, you head back into the bar. One more Long Island can’t hurt. Welcome to Boston. Beautiful culture.

I love Twitter pt 2 😂😂😂

I was so scared to retire months ago. Honestly, I was freaking out quite a bit. The military was all I knew for 20 years. Staring at that change after coming from what I was used to was scary af. Now that I am retired, I am excited. All I see is opportunity.

This can be yours for only $650,000
