Is it likely that someone cares enough about a specific place to to altruistically transform it into Silicon Valley?
There should be a quite large pool of people that have spare $30 million [1].
Creating new Silicon Valley sounds like a much better vanity project than, for example, space tourism (one trip is $20 - 28 million).
