Tom Anderson (MySpace Tom) is retired and primarily lives part-time on Oahu, Hawaii, where he has described feeling deeply connected to the island.
He has repeatedly posted on Instagram (@myspacetom) and Facebook about enjoying his home there, including recent GoPro videos and reflections on Oahu's Pali lookout, the calm island culture, and why it feels like home (comparing it to places like Bhutan). He mentioned living on Oahu part-time since retiring around 2010. His X (Twitter) location is also set to Oahu.
He splits time between Hawaii and occasional mainland visits (e.g., he was spotted in early 2025 at Costa Mesa Country Club in Southern California, golfing and looking relaxed with his dog). He also travels extensively for photography, capturing landscapes from places like Thailand, Myanmar, Bali, and others.
### Current Lifestyle
- **Retired since ~2009** (after stepping away from MySpace post-2005 sale).
- Focuses on hobbies: landscape and ocean photography (sparked by Burning Man in 2011), surfing, golf (handicap around 16; he's an ambassador for Student Golf), architecture/interior design, writing, creativity, and even studying "life extension" and the "Don't Die" movement.
- He shares travel photos, drone videos, and personal reflections on Instagram (over 600k followers), where his bio reads something like "Former 1st friend! ... Music, architecture, golf, surf, interior design, writing, creativity. Life Extension-Don't die!"
- Some reports note minor tech/investment interests (e.g., venture capital, mentions of AI/SpaceX/CRISPR in bios or deleted Threads posts), but he largely stays out of the spotlight and isn't running major new ventures.
His estimated net worth is around $60 million, largely from the MySpace sale and real estate (he once designed and flipped dream homes). He keeps a low profile overall—posts can be infrequent—but remains active enough on social media to share his adventures.
In short, at 55 (born 1970), he's living a chill, creative retired life centered on Hawaii, travel, waves, golf courses, and photography—pretty much the dream "early retirement" many imagined for early tech millionaires. You can check his latest on Instagram for the most direct updates.
