The $30 Million Island Mansion That Twitter, Netflix, and Kayak Built

The venture capitalist first moved to the tiny, affluent community off the coast of the Tiburon Peninsula in 2000. “Our first place was on the lagoon, a supercool little waterway within the island. Our second house was on the very top of the island, but then we wanted to be closer to the water, and this lot came up,” he says. “I was like, I’m grabbing it.”
