I wonder how many wealthy people are reading all of this criticism of Zuckerberg and are thinking to themselves: "On second thought, I'll just buy another boat." Remember how cool it was when Larry Ellison spent $500 million on that Hawaii island?
IMO the criticism is warranted, and there is a clear path Zuckerberg could take to quash all of the bad publicity. While he may be surprised people are calling him out, I say good for them. Why let anyone pull wool over your eyes voluntarily?
Someone who owned fairly illiquid Hawaiian land now has $500,000,000. Perhaps they would do something with it.
