Actress and singer Bette Midler is a familiar face, long associated with Kauai. The Honolulu-born performer has a real estate portfolio here on Kauai that includes multiple holdings. In 2000, she purchased a well-known 1,400-acre parcel adjacent to the Kapaa bypass road for $4.5 million, previously held by Amfac Sugar. This land has remained undeveloped due to Midler’s intention to preserve the vast expanse. She also owns 38 acres in Kilauea.

Over the years, this island has been a haven for stars including Pierce Brosnan, Ben Stiller, Britney Spears, Charo, Steven Tyler, Julia Roberts, John Travolta, and the late Michael Crichton.
