Feeling a little cramped in your thousand square foot Manhattan
apartment? Got a few extra million to blow? If so, you too can join the
elite of the elite and buy your very own private island. Private islands
have always been the mark of the uber filthy rich, and the dream of Joe
Everyman running his day-to-day rat race. Maybe it’s not actually
owning an island that excited people but the idea itself of
being able to afford and own such a rare commodity. What most people
don’t realize is that private islands (granted, somewhat less tropical
islands) can be bought for as little as $100k, or even rented for
weekend getaways. For more amazing, exotic and remote watery wonders, see our collection of Underwater and Oceanic Oddities
