Californian cannabis king lists $24m private Fijian island
Barry Walker and his family rewrote their rule book when they fell in love with Fiji and created an island hideaway. They’re now selling their passion project.
“That’s every young boy’s dream, to own an island, right?” says Barry Walker, who is selling Vawa private island.
When AFR Weekend calls Barry Walker to discuss the sale of his private island in Fiji, he is negotiating LA traffic and running late for school pick-up. After a couple of drop-outs, the video call stabilises to show Walker sitting idle in what is presumably a world-famous LA traffic jam.
Our call has been delayed several times after wildfires ripped through the entrepreneur’s home town where he runs his cannabis company, Dub Bros, which is one of the largest licence holders in California.
