PayPal Founder to Create Man-Made Island Nations

Water World


Peter Thiel, famous for founding PayPal and being an early investor in Facebook, may become recognized next as the godfather of an oceanic Utopian power movement. The development and purchase of these aquatic libertarian paradises will be limited to the super rich. He isn't the originator of this spectacular, yet peculiar idea, but he will be credited as a pioneer of these "nations" if they are to be constructed and implemented as planned. Development for these projects are being prepared now with hopes of completion in the near future.
