Sean Parker settles with the California Coastal Commission after failing to obtain the proper permits for structures built near a redwood forest in Big Sur, Calif. Sean Parker`s $10 million dollar fantasy-themed wedding has inadvertently become a massive environmental fundraiser.
The 33-year-old media mogul and former Facebook president, worth an estimated $2 billion, has agreed to a $2.5 million dollar settlement with the California Coastal Commission after building structures in an ecologically sensitive area without any of the proper permits. According to TMZ, Parker reportedly hired a landscaping company to build fake ruins, waterfalls, man made ponds, bridges and a gated cottage near a redwood forest by a luxury hotel. By the time the Coastal Commission caught wind of the event, many of the structures had already been built - with some in clear violation of environmental regulations.
"Mr. Parker has been extremely cooperative and actively involved in working with Coastal Commission staff to reach this resolution which both addresses our Coastal Act concerns and will result in greater coastal access and conservation in the Big Sur and Monterey Peninsula areas," Charles Lester, the commission`s executive director, said in a statement.
