Why it’s on my list

What’s a bucket list without some outrageous additions?! Owning A Private Island sounds very lavish however I don’t need an island the size of Greenland, just a small area to call my own.

This idea came was pinched from Sir Richard Branson as when I read his book I learned he purchased his now famous Necker Island In the British Virgin Islands in the Caribbean. He paid just $180,000 for it back in 1978. It’s a remarkable story – you can read how he did it here.

I have researched some places, there are some islands near Tonga that I have my eye on, but for now, this remains very much on the long term goals list just like another bucket list extravagance – owning a private jet.

Got a private island you want to sell at a discount? All locations considered :)
