- DariusMonsef, on 05/21/2008, -0/+65Richard Branson is one smart cookie. He bought his island for only $100k back in the 70's and it now "rents for approximately $329,000 US dollars per week"
- sterntastic223, on 05/21/2008, -0/+24Thousand square foot? WTF I got 600 sqr feet.
- AManWithNoName, on 05/21/2008, -1/+22FTA: "Also, Copperfield reportedly has found the “Fountain of Youth” on the Island…"
WTF? That is the lamest publicity stunt ever, and the sad part is that it's working. - DermDoc, on 05/21/2008, -2/+16Da plane! Da plane!
- sungoddess808, on 05/21/2008, -0/+10I'd love to have a nice little island in the tropics! =)
- decepticrat, on 05/21/2008, -0/+7Pfft. I scoff at islands. I want me a small country... I bet I could get one of them slavic offshoots for a song. I'd rename it Decepticovia and only allow my people to play Wii sports and eat things that required both buns and condiments.
- StevieJanowski, on 04/02/2009, -0/+7I would give anything to visit Musha Cay, wish i had a couple hundred grand to blow on a vacation with my friends
- jbmcb, on 05/21/2008, -0/+6Wow those are some nice private islands, unlike most private islands that are ratty and run-down :)
- CMfly, on 05/21/2008, -0/+6Unless your roommate already ate them!!!
- maninalift, on 05/21/2008, -0/+6Why isn't Tracy Island on here?
- homercles337, on 05/21/2008, -0/+6The first one in the list (Isla de sa Ferradura) doesnt look like an island to me.
http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&q=Eivissa,+Spain ... - inactive, on 05/21/2008, -1/+6I need to become rich. But for now I'll just go home to my 300sqft studio apt; with frozen burritos in the freezer.
- xKorrix, on 05/21/2008, -0/+5How does one go about purchasing an island anyway?
- inactive, on 05/21/2008, -0/+5mmmm i feel like taking a vacation
- philforhumanity, on 05/21/2008, -0/+4I wish I had money to buy one.. or two...
- allaboutdatiki, on 05/21/2008, -1/+5dugg for da tikis!
- inactive, on 05/21/2008, -0/+4$10,000,000 discount on all the islands if you heard about it on Digg.
- hermslice, on 05/21/2008, -0/+4YOU SON OF A BITCH....IT WAS YOU!!!!
- Xzn31, on 05/21/2008, -1/+5I won't feel so envious in a decade or so when rising oceans from global warming wipes these rich mofos out =)
- geneticlone, on 05/21/2008, -0/+4He don't look to young to me.
- busybenj, on 05/21/2008, -0/+3*whips out checkbook*
- Hetman, on 05/21/2008, -3/+6Instead of buying an island wouldnt it be easier just to build an army of about 50 people and take over 1 of the isands that is already owned by one of these people? It would be cheaper than purchasing one.
- Xoti, on 05/21/2008, -0/+3AHHHH,I broke my leg !!!
Anyone there...? - Portwineboy, on 05/21/2008, -0/+3It has a girly name
- Jpesci, on 05/21/2008, -1/+4but he developed it too.
- wellyuk, on 05/21/2008, -0/+3I'm not a property expert, as you all know, but renting is kind of dead money. While the price of your property will more than likely drop, if you keep your house for long enough, you're pretty much guaranteed that the price will eventually rise and you will get that money back plus more.
Myself, I'm going to buy a bad ass Winnebago and become a pikey. - Greatn3ss, on 05/21/2008, -5/+8"Feeling a little cramped in your thousand square foot Manhattan apartment? Got a few extra million to blow?"
Phew. I was worried there for a second that this article wouldn't appeal to the average digger. - ronfez, on 05/21/2008, -0/+3Well if you are a hot young female, Mr Copperfield might oblige.
- franklymister, on 05/21/2008, -0/+2Where'd you get that giant space? Bed-Stuy? Most Manhattanites are happy to get four or five hundred sq. feet!
- inactive, on 05/21/2008, -0/+2I couldn't imagine a better vacation spot than Cerralvo Island in Mexico. I've heard so much about it already, and this list just solidified it as a future vacation destination of mine.
- ConquistadorFor, on 05/21/2008, -0/+2gotta do something guys
gotta get rich and live somewhere around - diggit08, on 05/21/2008, -0/+2Global warming will own these Islands.
- glinsvad, on 05/21/2008, -0/+2Guess I'll have to settle for a 108 square inches (that's 15" at 4:3)
- inactive, on 05/21/2008, -0/+2Stop fantasizing over my islands.
- inactive, on 05/21/2008, -0/+2No Maldivian Island?? the list aint complete without one!!!
- bromac, on 05/21/2008, -1/+3You make $90k/year and you're still renting?
- fleischner, on 05/21/2008, -0/+2Weird -- it says "EUR 250,000.00" at the top but "Offered for Twenty Five Million Euro" below.
- hopeast, on 05/21/2008, -0/+2This reminds me of how broke I am...
- diggit08, on 05/21/2008, -1/+3They are not countries. Just islands. learn the difference.
- DevinOlsen, on 05/21/2008, -1/+3So where is the list of the 10 most luxurious private islands I CAN afford?
- redfred18t, on 05/21/2008, -0/+2Why didn't they show my island?!
- mister23, on 05/21/2008, -0/+1rent scales up a lot faster than salary, though.
- BransonFan, on 05/22/2008, -0/+1I could enjoy one of those Bahamian islands!
- jza80nrx7, on 05/22/2008, -0/+1Musha Cay isnt a bad deal if you get 12 people to go, only $2687 a day. Great magic investment Copperfield.
- Galaktik, on 05/22/2008, -0/+1wouhou ............... I definitely need holidays ! :-P
- guillebravo6, on 05/21/2008, -0/+1After global warming melts the icebergs none of the islands will exist, sucks for them, 25 billion down the drain!
- eclipxe, on 05/21/2008, -0/+1I would say renting is a very attractive option nowadays. Save as much as possible until the market bottoms out and then buy. Why buy (even if you can afford it) if the values are going to drop dramatically?
- plasma25, on 05/22/2008, -0/+1Totally insane....look beautiful though :)
- inactive, on 05/21/2008, -0/+1Wow.
