Music Mogul David Geffen Gives Beach Access To Public

MALIBU, CA - APRIL 18: Luxurious beach houses crowd the shoreline hiding Carbon Beach, a public beach that was gotten to through a recently opened public accessway next to music producer David Geffen's beach house, on April 18, 2005 in Malibu, California. The gate was found re-locked later that afternoon. By opening the gate, Geffen would be fulfilling a 22-year-old legal promise to open a public pathway across his property in exchange for permits from the Coastal Commission to begin building his Cape Cod-style compound across multiple lots on Carbon Beach. In giving up the gate key, the music mogul also stops daily fines of USD1,000 a day from accumulating. (Photo by David McNew/Getty Images)
