      I suspect the opposite: a billionaire's escape from a potentially turbulent society.

         or... just plain old land speculation?

            Yup it could be but speculation needs a cause.. Hard assets are the rage right now anyways for AI zillionaires. He has apparently bought a monastery in Colorado for $120M; Miami beach house for $55M; 500 acre land in New Hampshire. His net worth is about $20B, $22M is like buying a toy to him and it is not a major investment.

               it definitely doesn't, as people buy shit all the time on impulse alone. when you have zillions of dollars, that impulse buying can look different, as you kind of say as well.
