Jay-Z And Beyoncé – Bahamas – $4 Million

Behind every cliché is a truth that has to be repeated enough times for people to grasp. An example of such a phrase is, “you get as many hours in a day as Beyoncé does, ” which gained popularity because of the singer’s work ethic that is said to be unmatched.

As a way to ensure that the ‘Upgrade You’ songbird got the much-needed rest and time to unwind, her husband, rapper Jay Z got her an island in the Bahamas worth $4 million for their 5th anniversary. We know, too extravagant of a gift, but not for a billionaire such as the New-York born MC.

 

Mel Gibson – Fiji – $15 Million

It’s easy to get swamped with life, and every once in a while, we all need to unplug. We imagine that things are harder for celebrities who are constantly required to be on, probably why Mel Gibson bought the Mago Island in Fiji as a getaway destination to re-center his thoughts and emotions.

Upon its release, ‘The Passion Of The Christ,’ which Gibson produced and directed, stirred great controversy, forcing this celebrity to retreat to this property and later purchase it for $15 million. It might have been an impulsive decision, but definitely a good investment.

 

Pamela Anderson – Dubai

Tommy Lee gifted Pamela Anderson with an island after their divorce. She must be one incredible woman to have gotten such a highly-priced souvenir. Just to be clear, the rockstar wasn’t trying to win his former wife back; that was simply a gesture of kindness towards someone that was once a big part of his life.

The island named ‘Greece’ is part of ‘The World Project’ in Dubai. Why Greece? Lee is originally Greek, making the property symbolic. While Anderson came up with the idea of purchasing the island, we highly doubt she knew it would be in her name, especially after her separation from the ‘Mötley Crüe’ bandmate.

 

Steven Spielberg – Madeira Archipelago

It makes no sense to work so hard yet not be able to enjoy the fruits of one’s labor. That should explain why famous filmmaker Steven Spielberg is a big spender who doesn’t think twice about buying luxurious properties for himself, such as a yacht and islands.

Spielberg owns two private islands on the coastal sides of Portugal, which he uses as a vacation destination for himself and his family. It’s a wise investment if you ask us. There, he and his loved ones can freely enjoy quality time without interruption from the paparazzi and fans who would constantly be walking up to the ‘Schindler’s List’ director for photos.

 

Louis Bacon – New York – $11 Million

We all desire to be rich and influential, yet only a handful of us would be willing to use such power for good. Louis Bacon is one of the few individuals who use their authority in a way that is beneficial to others and with the future in mind.

While multiple organizations were fighting for the ownership of ‘Robins Island’ to set up different properties for commercial use, the investor wanted the teardrop-shaped islet, not for anything more than to ensure the preservation of its natural state. Heavens chose a good one to entrust this $11 million worth of resource with.

 

Tyler Perry – Bahamas

After making it to the ‘Forbes List of World Billionaires,’ actor Tyler Perry decided to buy himself an island as a reward for all he had endured and achieved throughout his career. Perry made the bold investment not because he had dreamt about it but simply because it was previously unimaginable to the once homeless star that he would come to own whatever he wanted.

White Bay Cay, which covers 25 acres of land in the Bahamas, was listed for $7 million and came with another 7-acre island nearby. Knowing Perry has a billion-dollar net worth, it was a pretty modest birthday gift that he gave himself.

 

Gene Hackman- British Columbia

Most celebrities admit that while they love their jobs, they also desire privacy, which they’re often denied. That explains why Gene Hackman traded his $3.9 million island in Seattle for a more secluded one in British Columbia.

The ‘Bonnie And Clyde’ star, now retired from Hollywood, frequently retreats to this peaceful sanctuary which has also become his go-to location to draw inspiration for his latest found passion for writing. We’re not sure if this is the future he had in mind, but we can confidently say that nothing could have complimented Hackman’s lifestyle more than this property. Besides his achievements as an actor, this must be one of those things he’s proud he owns.

 

Dean Kamen – New York – $2.5 Million

If you ask us, Dean Kamen’s purchase of the North Dumpling Island was such a steal compared to the prices of private destinations today. This New York property, which came with a replica of the Stonehenge monument, cost the engineer $2.5 million back in the ’80s. We are not saying that’s a small amount, but one doesn’t get a deal as good as that for an entire island.

Kamen is a private guy who prefers to maintain a low profile despite his outstanding contribution to science and technology. So the 2.5-acre island must be one of those things the ‘Segway’ inventor owns, which act as a hideout where he can plan out his next innovation.

 

Diana Ross – Tahitian Island

After getting married, most couples get a dog together or put a down payment on an apartment to signify their new life together. Not Diana Ross and her former husband, Arne Naess Jr., who went all out and bought an entire island adjacent to their honeymoon location when they returned from their vacation.

Unfortunately for the pair, things didn’t work out between them, and when it was time to sign the divorce papers, no one wanted to keep the island they had purchased together, so they put it up for sale. After all, everyone wants a fresh start after going separate ways with an ex, and keeping a property you co-own with a former spouse doesn’t help.

 

 

Lenny Kravitz – Eleuthera, Bahamas

Artists rely heavily on their environment for inspiration, and for Lenny Kravitz, the Bahamas is the place that gets his creative juices flowing. After he previously expressed that living in a trailer was perfect for his lifestyle, the singer finally found a home in Eleuthera that he thought was worth purchasing.

While Kravitz doesn’t own the entire island, living in a property located on the shores of the Atlantic is more than enough for him. Besides his love for the place because of its beautiful scenery, the star appreciates the welcoming culture of the people, which he says is rare to find.

 

Ricky Martin – Brazil – $8 Million

After 25 years as a celebrity, Ricky Martin acquired an island in 2008. The beach paradise is located off the coast of Brazil in the middle of a marine reserve. Surrounded by 12 cannons and a watchtower, the vacation home, which is styled after a Portuguese colonial villa making it the perfect family getaway, cannot get any more private.

Having begun his career at the age of 12, Ricky has seen all sides of being a celebrity. He has achieved success as a singer, songwriter, author, and actor. The multi-talented star is also a vocal advocate for human rights.

 

The Barclay Brothers – Brecqhou – $4.3 Million

In 1993 when the Barclay twins, David and Fredrick, bought the Brecqhou, one of the Channel Islands in the Bailiwick of Guernsey, it possessed only a little glory. So the two businessmen erected a gothic-style castle, renovated the buildings, and tidied up the gardens to make it the beauty it is now. The island is highly exclusive, making it a perfect getaway for billionaires and public figures.

Until the demise of David in January 2021, the two had joint business interests predominantly in the media, retail, and property sectors. Frederick now still owns the estate and keeps the memory of his brother alive.

 

Ted Turner – St. Phillips Island – $4.9 Million

Known for founding CNN and TBS, luxury is second nature to Ted Turner. In 1979 he bought a 4,680-acre island on the coast of South Carolina. On it, he built a 3,350 square feet house with extensive amenities. The State of Carolina purchased the island from him for $4.9 million in early 2018, and it is currently available for rent to the public.

The famous media proprietor is also known for his philanthropy. He is the founder of the Turner Foundation, which he established to address the high rate of population growth and its impact.

 

David Copperfield – Musha Cay – $50 Million

This American magician and illusionist owns an island in the Bahamas whose gorgeous architecture and sandy beaches promise nothing but magic. Valued at $50-million, Musha Cay went through five years of renovation to become a vacation destination. David Copperfield also acquired ten neighboring islands to make up the perfect tropical paradise.

At $57K a night, visitors access the 40 private beaches, the waters of the Nautilus Rib Catamaran, and dine on the 2,200 square foot Balinese Beach Pavilion. So whether it’s a heaven-like vacation, a coastal adventure, or a romantic getaway, guests can find it here at the right price.

 

Michael Schumacher – Dubai – $7 Million

As the wealthiest athlete in professional racing, Michael Schumacher is used to luxury goods, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t welcome charity. So when the Crown Prince of Dubai gifted the seven-time world champion his very own private island to show admiration, he gladly accepted!

Worth $7 million if purchased, the property is part of the sprawling artificial islands known as ‘The World.’ Each island is oddly named after a country, and Schumacher’s piece of haven is in the Antarctica section. It boasts a helipad, a glass mansion, and an expansive harbor that caters to over 100 yachts, which makes sense since the island is so exclusive that the only way to reach it is by boat or a helicopter.

Julia Roberts – Bahamas – $6 Million

If you are into romantic movies, then you probably know who Julia Robert is. The “Pretty Woman” star is known for her box office hits and unrivaled onscreen charisma, which help catapult Hollywood into the global spectrum.

Julia loves to keep her personal life under wraps, so therefore buying a private island in the Bahamas was just the right move to keep it that way. Not much is known about the $6 million property, apart from the stellar blue waters and her A-list Bahamas neighborhood. It seems like a worthy investment, though, as the actress wants a little getaway with her family now and then.

 

Dr. Henry Jarecki – Guana Island

Dr. Henry Jarecki left his doctor’s residency to run multi-million dollar enterprises, a pretty fair trade if you look at it. Now, as a renowned world-class entrepreneur, Dr. Jarecki is enjoying spectacular opulence, hopping from mega-mansions to his very own private island.

The Guana Island stretches to over 850 acres of devastatingly beautiful paradise, complete with an eco-friendly resort and luxurious new villas. Although Dr. Jarecki has pursued developments for the island, he still wanted to maintain its unspoiled beauty through his deep passion for conservation projects. He even described his sanctuary as a safe place for wildlife, but not without the cocktail hour.

Dietrich Mateschitz – Laucala Island – Fiji – $9.5 Million

This isn’t just any island, it was a part of the Forbes estates earlier and Dietrich got it for himself only in 2003. He tried to make sure that it remains private and for awhile all paparazzi was banned from the island.

Dietrich tweaked the island to his own liking and gave it a suave finish that pleased him very much. The resort island now includes 25 bures, each of which has different themes. It also boasts golf clubs, restaurants, and plantations amongst other amenities, and remains one of the best places to visit in Fiji.

John Malone – Sampson Cay

John purchased the Sampson Cay isle, and though it was once open to the public, after a while, he chose to use it exclusively as a private getaway.

Considering the high-end amenities and services offered on the isle, it’s not surprising that the property is popular among celebrities, with the Kardashian family and Justin Bieber all visiting the spot at some point.

Most of us have been lucky enough to receive birthday presents from our loved ones, but we don’t think there’s any that tops this as far as gifts go. According to sources, for Brad Pitt’s 50th birthday, his then-wife Angelina Jolie got him an island called Petra.

While it remains unclear whether the couple still owns the place, there’s no doubt Petra Island is stunning.
