How much does an island cost? Here’s what the stars drop for a piece of paradise
From Fuji to The Bahamas, here's where celebrities bought their very own islands
Forget what you would bring to a deserted island, where would you buy and what would you build?
For Leonardo DiCaprio, he’s building an eco-resort — slated to open this year — on his island near Belize, reports the New York Post. For serial island-buyer David Copperfield (he owns four, all in the Bahamas), he also has visions of hospitality, though perhaps less well-intentioned than Leo as a stay at Copperfield’s resort costs about $325,000 per week.
But what does it really cost to buy your own island? Here’s how much a handful of stars shelled out to make their island dreams come true.
