Billionaires' beach is finally open to all: Victory for campaigners in thirty-year battle with wealthy property Malibu owners
A stretch of paradise in Malibu, California known as the 'Billionaire's Beach' is now open to the public.
The sandy Carbon Beach West which opened this month was the subject of a fight between property owner Lisette Ackerberg and the California Coastal Commission that went on for about three decades.
Even though the beach was technically public, pathways to the destination were blocked by wealthy property owners who fought to keep the beach private.
The LA Times reports that celebrities such as former Dodgers owner Jamie McCourt and former chief executive of Oracle Corp. have houses along the beach.

Keeping Up With the Kerkorians
Through it all, the Kempers have been gamely keeping up appearances. Beverly Hills-based entrepreneur Ross and his wife, Linda, heiress to her late father Kirk Kerkorian’s multibillion-dollar fortune, recently attended the U.S. premiere of a Colombian auteur’s magical realist drama at TCL Chinese Theatre. Meanwhile, their eldest daughter, Tess, a year-old former international debutante and burgeoning lifestyle influencer, has been responding to her more than 22, Instagram followers interested in her outfit of the day.
