David Bowie
One of the great chameleons of pop music, David Bowie, has long displayed a gift for making alternative music. One of his favorite places in the world was his private island off the coast of Mustique.

Naomi Campbell
For Naomi's 41st birthday, her boyfriend spared no expense and generously gifted her with a private island and had a Horus-shaped house built for her that is 100% eco-friendly!
The self-sustaining masterpiece designed by Architect Luis de Garrido is on Isla Playa de Cleopatra, in Turkey's Gulf of Gökova.
Steven Spielberg
Of course, the creator of "Jurassic Park" has two of his own islands off the coast of Portugal! It's been rumored that Spielberg has plans to develop his islands further, maybe into a resort or reserve park?

Her property covers 10,000-square-foot, with a house that has four bedrooms and features striking mountain views.
Pamela Anderson
In a bid to get Pamela back, her ex-husband, Tommy Lee, bought her a private island off the coast of Dubai. The tropical oasis didn't help mend their relationship, but Pam did keep the lavish gift.
The private island still remains undeveloped, and we could say the same about their relationship.
Beyoncé
For Queen Bey, it's only fitting that Jay-Z bought her a private island for her 29th birthday! The 12.5-acre property is nestled between the strip of Florida keys and cost a whopping $20 million!
In addition to this, Jay-Z also gifted his wife with another island in the Bahamas when their first daughter, Blue Ivy, was born.

John Lennon
It was both John Lennon and Yoko's dream to develop the Dorinish Island located off the coast of Ireland. However, after Lennon's passing, Yoko decided to sell the uninhabited island in John's honor and donate the money to an Irish orphanage.
By the time of his death, John had only visited the island once; he never found the time to settle there.
Richard Branson
Branson founded the Virgin Group in the 1970s, so it's only fitting that he should also own one of the Virgin Islands. The island was worth $6 million, but Branson originally offered $100k and was immediately rejected.
One year later and the island was still for sale, so Branson bought the island at his initial offer and received a 97% discount!
Brangelina
The exes heart-shaped island is located just a short 15-minute helicopter ride outside of New York City. The island consists of a 5,000-square foot property as well as an additional guesthouse.
Oh, and the pristine little island also has a helicopter landing pad!

Mel Gibson's private island, Mago, sits in the southwestern Pacific Ocean and covers a staggering 5,400 acres. The volcanic isle lies close to Fiji, and as one of the largest private islands in the region, the pristine island consists of 22 square kilometers of land.
Mel Gibson has left most of the island untouched, preferring it that way, having only built a small and modest house.
Eddie Murphy
Eddie Murphy bought the island of Rooster Cay for $15 million back in 2007. As a true lover of nature, Eddie Murphy decided to leave the island as it is and untouched.

Ricky Martin
Back in 2008, Ricky Martin purchased this gem of an island off the coast of Brazil. The estate boasts a giant mansion with a vast nature reserve. As we can see from the photo, it is incredibly lush and green; well done, Ricky!

Mick Jagger also owns Pelican Beach, a smaller and slightly more modest property just next door to his villa.
Diana Ross
Diana Ross has reportedly put her French Polynesian island up on auction, starting at $11.8 million. For many years, the island was her second home as she spent a lot of time on it; she loved it so much that she even spent her honeymoon there.
The Polynesian island houses a villa that crowns this small Southern Seas paradise.
Robin Williams
For many years, it remained unclear if the late Robin Williams actually owned the island of Pender Harbour, but what is apparent is that he took several vacations there, along with his family.
The island is now in his family's possession, and they are dedicated to preserving it in its natural state as a way to honor Robin's legacy.
Marlon Brando
Marlon Brando fell in love with the French Polynesian island called Tetiaroa after several of his films were shot there. The reef is composed of a dozen small islands circling a sparkling lake 30 miles northeast of Tahiti.

Johnny Depp has his own 45-acre tropic haven in the form of an island called Little Hall's Pond Cay in the Caribbean. Johnny Depp first laid eyes on the island while shooting "Pirates of the Caribbean" and decided to buy it in 2004.
The actor said that it was Marlon Brando who taught him how to even buy an island.
Shakira
In 2011, Shakira coupled up with Pink Floyd's Roger Waters to purchase the island of Bonds Cay together. Their island is situated just north of the Bahamas and more than 500 acres in size. It's reportedly valued at $16 million.
They are apparently set on developing a retreat, or more like a luxurious resort for other wealthy vacationers.
Leonardo DiCaprio
In 2005, Leonardo DiCaprio bought the lease of the Blackadore Caye island, which is located off the coast of Belize. The island possesses a diverse ecosystem of land and marine species, recognized internationally as part of the 'Mesoamerican Biological Corridor' region.

Julia Roberts
Hollywood's Pretty Woman is known for being very secretive when it comes to her private life, so it would make perfect sense that she bought her own private island in the Bahamas.
Julia Roberts's island is solely just for vacations with her family.
Tyler Perry
The producer, writer, and actor we all know as Tyler Perry purchased the White Bay Cay in The Exuma Cays in the Bahama. The island was the 40th-birthday gift that he bought for himself!

Lenny Kravitz
Musician Lenny Kravitz bought the lease of an island in the Eleuthera archipelago in the Bahamas, where his mother was from. While on his visits to his home on Eleuthera, he lives a simple life, peaceful and quiet.

Tim McGraw and Faith Hill
The power couple made their own slice of heaven on a private isle. They bought the 20-acre island, called "L'ile de Agnes," in 2006. Located near the Bahamas, their getaway features a four-bedroom home that they built from scratch (with the help of designers and architects, of course.)
They also had to build all the infrastructure, like electricity and running water, before they could make their 15,000 square foot vacation home on the island.
David Copperfield
The superstar magician David Copperfield has also decided to invest in his own private island; in fact, he bought 11 islands in the Bahamas! As it turns out, his plan was to rent out his resort to other wealthy vacationers.

Celine Dion

Back in 2003, Business magnates and brothers David and Frederick Barclay bought Brecqhou, an island just off the coast of the British Channel Islands. They built a medieval castle, and until recently, the island was entirely off-limits to civilians.

Bear Grylls
The survival expert and adventurer established his own private location in 2001 on St. Tudwal West island off Wales' Llyn Peninsula. The island was transformed into his vacation home.

Francis Ford Coppola
The director of "Godfather," along with his family, operates six remote hideaways across the globe. Three of them are around Central America, including Turtle Inn, which is a jungle getaway retreat on the coast of Belize.

Michael Schumacher
This island was given a gift to Michael Schumacher by Dubai crown prince Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum and its worth is $7 million. The only way to reach this isolated island is by boat or helicopter.

Tatiana Casiraghi
Princess Caroline's daughter-in-law arrived with an extraordinary dowry when she married Pierre Casiraghi back in 2015: a set of five private islands.

Brooke Shields
For years, Brooke enjoyed her Emerald Island while enclosed by towering trees, the privacy in the middle of Chazy Lake, which belongs to the gorgeous Adirondacks Park.

Alejandro Sanz
Alejandro Sánchez Pizarro, better known as Alejandro Sanz is a Spanish musician and composer. Alejandro has won 17 Latin Grammy Awards and three Grammy Awards. He has also purchased a 700-acre island in the Bahamas for $16 million.

Larry Page
Larry Page, the co-founder of Google and one of the wealthiest people in the world, also joined the private island club and bought his own piece of land, surrounded by water in the British Virgin Islands.
The isolated area is a real paradise, and lays claim to marvelous sceneries and impressive coastlines starring shallow reefs, make this retreat a place of almost anyone's dreams.
Dean Kamen
Many people might not know who Dean Kamen is, but we all certainly know what a Segway is. Dean Kamen is the inventor and creator of Segway and, apparently, now he is wealthy enough to afford his own private island!

Larry Ellison
Larry Ellison, the co-founder of Oracle, the second-largest software company in the world, has also bought his own private island, which was purchased around $500 and $600 million.

The island had reopened to the general public in a reduced capacity in 2011 before becoming a year-round public area in the summer of 2016.
Paul Tudor Jones
The Hedge fund manager Paul Tudor Jones owns a triad of private islands. It's quite interesting that three islands spell out his initials when seen from above. Rumor has it that his islands are human-made, but that remains unclear.
Paul's trio of islands is part of a 3,000-acre wildlife reserve he owns on the Chesapeake Bay in the state of Maryland.
Craig McCaw

A dispute over the land resulted in a lawsuit by Turner, but he later dropped the suit and donated dozens of acres to the group in 2002. St. Phillips is private property and is being watched by a caretaker.
Jörg Pilawa
Famous German TV host Jörg Pilawa not only owns Hunt Island in Nova Scotia, but he also rents it out for functions. The lake it's located in, Ponhook Lake, is a popular spot for both tourists and locals, with numerous islands and scenic coastal areas.

Errol Flynn
The famous swashbuckler was nothing if not a party guy. On the small island known as Navy Island off the coast of Port Antonio in Portland Parish, Jamaica, he hosted plenty of bashes, despite it being only sixty-four acres.

After being listed, the 5.5 acre-wide Melody Key suffered severe storm damage and later sold for the paltry sum of $3.2 million, according to the HGTV show “Island Hunters.”
Peter Nygård
Finnish-Canadian fashion executive Peter Nygård founded Nygård International, a company focusing on women's apparel, in 1967. With a net worth of almost a billion dollars, it's no surprise he has his own island getaway, and he even named it after himself: Nygard Cay, in the Bahamas.

Shah Rukh Khan
Thanks to Dubai's man-made islands, there are plenty more to go around for people like Shah Rukh Khan, an Indian actor, film producer, and television personality. His island is on the K Frond of the Palm Jumeirah Islands in Dubai.

Christopher Ondaatje, a Sri-Lankan-born Canadian-English businessman, philanthropist, adventurer, writer, and – brace yourselves – bob-sledding Olympian for Canada, loves his Meisner's Island.

Arnaud Henry Salas-Perez Obolensky
As part of the princely Russian Obolensky family, sometimes Arnaud Henry needs a place to get away from it all. Arnaud is a private fellow, but we at least know he owns Patroklos Island in the Saronic Gulf of Greece – about sixty-five kilometers from Athens.
It used to be a notorious haven for pirates, and it was at the center of the Israeli “Greek Island Affair.”
Edward de Bono
Edward de Bono doesn't have a private island. He has THREE. He owns not only Green Island, near Australia, but also Tessera off the coast of Italy, as well as Reklusia in the Bahamas.

John Wayne
While Panama was trying to win its independence from the United States in 1964, John Wayne broke ranks with other conservatives, siding with Panama. His former wife Josephine was a native of the canal country.

She persuaded her husband to come down and take a look on the next flight, and they bought the island shortly after. Cohen founded the business Transiciel, which was later sold to Capgemini.
Jiří Šmejc
Czech billionaire Jiří Šmejc owns the island Velaa. It boasts an incredible resort worth hundreds of millions. It consists of forty-two villas, has a Michelin-starred chef cooking at the restaurant, and sports a golf course. It's easily been voted as one of the top high-end resorts in the world.
The architect of the resort designed the island to meet the billionaire's exacting standards, allowing freedom and entertainment in equal measure.
Richard Branson
This billionaire has two entries on our list. This one is for Moskito Island. He bought it for about $12.6 million, a fair share more than his first island. He's spent a fortune turning this 125-acre Caribbean spot into an upscale eco-resort.
There's also a huge pool, long nature trails, and recreation areas. 80% of the island's energy comes from renewable sources. The island is also home to the endangered ring-tailed lemurs.

The local Eriska House from 1884 is an astounding building that has been converted to a hotel and upgraded with modern amenities, thanks to the Buchanan-Smiths.
The Grants
Clan Grant makes up all of the inhabitants of the Isle of Ewe, a small Scottish island on the west coast of Ross and Cromarty. They have lived there since the mid-19th century.
However, we pulled a sneaky on ya: the actual owners of the island are J.I.H. Macdonald-Buchanan, who leases the island to the Grants. There used to be more families, but most of them left during WWII.
David Brearley
Brearley doesn't live on Insh Island anymore. This eccentric landowner spent his time in a cave at the north end for thirty years. Now uninhabited, the island lies a mile northeast of Ellenabeich in Seil. “Insh” is derived from the Gaelic word for “The Island,” meaning it's essentially called “The Island Island.”
While a company does now own the island, and members of the public are encouraged to stay away due to difficult landings.
Panayiotis Tsakos
Except for a few goats that roam around, the island of Atokos is uninhabited. The current owner is a shipping magnate, Tsakos, and a shepherd visits every fourth day to tend to the goats as part of an agreement with the owner.
There is a small chapel that visitors are allowed to see, clean and well-maintained, and there is also a simple two-story house that gives the bay the island is in its name.
Dr. Henry Jarecki
The British Virgin Islands were home to celebrity businessman Dr. Henry Jarecki for about 4 decades, starting in 1978 when he first purchased Guana Island.

Ekaterina Rybolovleva
The Greek island of Skorpios has seen many billionaires. One of them is Aristotle Onassis, who is also featured on this list. In 2013, billionaire heiress Ekaterina Rybolovleva became the lawful owner of the place.
All of her billionaire friends can reach the island with their helicopters and yachts, as the place features a helipad and a yacht quay. Rybolovleva held her wedding on the 74-acre island in 2015.
The Disney Family
The Disney family (as a whole, it seems) currently owns Echo Island off of Washington near British Columbia. Full of trees and sporty invigorating shorelines, the island is host to several private abodes and has lots of adventurous sights, such as trails and waterfalls.
It's unknown whether or not the Disney family actually spends any time on the island or if it's just one of their many holdings.
Rudolf Nureyev
Located by the Amalfi Coast, Il Gallo Lungo island looks like a dolphin from above. Russian ballet dancer and choreographer Rudolf Nureyev bought the place for $2.4 million in 1988. He got the island redecorated with a three-bedroom mansion he enjoyed for a very limited time as he passed away in 1992.
Anyone who's interested and has sufficient coin can now rent the island for an exclusive holiday.
Mark Zuckerberg
Zuckerberg's holdings also include a large part of the Hawaiian island of Kauai. He's been buying up land on the island for years – he has more than a thousand acres as of now.
He's been accused of trying to force other residents, especially neighbors, to sell their land to him. He's even thought to have filed several lawsuits against residents.
Cristiano Ronaldo
Soccer legend Ronaldo is one of the highest-paid athletes in the world. After buying Madeira Island, he and his family have been enjoying themselves in the luxury villa and exploring the island's rocky areas.
Ronaldo is used to the island life since he was born and grew up on an island. In fact, some sources tell us it was the same island that he now owns, but we cannot confirm.
