Wow, thanks so much for that post. I think I’ve found my new favourite site. No man is an island who owns one. It has a forum too!
Yeah, that site is great.
Even if you were to buy the island and build a house on it, upkeep and travel expenses would be insane. What do you think the expected yearly costs would be for running one?
I’ve been addicted to the site since finding it. I haven’t really thought about all the costs associated with running an island, but I expect that there are many unforseen expenses.
That said, I wouldn’t mind finding out!
love that website, i read that many islands in French Polynesia (the cheapest ones on there) are inexpensive due to many nuclear tests they have run under sea in the area… so watch out!
Another great resource for private islands is Vladi Private Islands. I believe they are the largest island brokerage house in the world. Only issue I have had with them is since they are located in Germany, they can be difficult corresponding with.
I have 185+ private islands around the world, many of them my exclusive, and unlike web portals I actually visit and step foot on the islands I sell.

Mr. Morrison I just read an interesting article that seems to counteract everything you seem to be saying. Apparently you are in big trouble for defrauding your clients.

I am knowledgeable on Private Islands and have make a web site that helping .
Having your own island would be great. The sun is the best part. Living in St. George Utah is definitely a tourist place to live because of the sun.
Now that looks like a place I would want to live. I could easily have one of those in my portfolio.
