00:00The most expensive private islands. There is perhaps nothing the mega-rich desire more than privacy, and privacy is becoming more and more difficult to come by.
00:15In the age of social media, the only real privacy the rich have left is the physical privacy achieved geographically, and there's nothing more private than a private island.
00:25The ever-reclusive, ever-extravagant one-percenters at the top of society spend millions on these private islands.
00:33The costs are so staggering, due to the sheer size of these landmasses, and due to the fact that they're so finitely numbered.
00:41In other words, there's only so many private islands on the planet available for purchase, not everyone can just pull a Dubai and build the island from scratch.
00:49So, in this video, I'll be counting down the 10 most expensive islands on the planet.
00:54Keep in mind that these price tags are the price of the landmass itself.
00:58Any buildings or facilities that have been built on the island have their own price tag as well.
01:03Beginning with number 10, here are the most expensive islands on the planet.
01:08Number 10, $28 million, Bird Cay Bahamas.
01:12Bird Cay is surrounded on all sides by neighboring islands in the Bahamas.
01:16These landmasses around Bird Cay offer protection from tsunami and hurricane, which is just one of the reasons the island comes at such a hefty price.
01:26The gorgeous island has over 4.75 miles of water frontage.
01:30Bird Cay offers sandy beaches, crystalline waters, gentle prevailing breezes, numerous trails, tropical palms, coserinas, as well as citrus and coconut groves.
01:41And it goes without saying that Bird Cay, along with every other island on this list, come with stunning ocean views.
01:49Given the considerable flowing grassland, a few holes of golf could easily be constructed on the island.
01:55For now, the island is still up for sale and there has been little to no construction on the property.
02:00This land is ripe for the taking for any multi-millionaire looking to bolster their reputation.
02:06Some sources believe this island's cost could skyrocket and advise that the island be purchased quickly for investment purposes.
02:1328 million, Agria Trias, Athens, Greece.
02:17Leaving the Bahamas but sure to return, we find Agria Trias of Athens, Greece.
02:22Agria Trias is perfect for any individual looking for an already developed island.
02:26This island comes ready with a central living accommodation that has 4 bedrooms, beach houses, a staff house and even a church.
02:34The beautiful island has 3 beaches and one of those beaches is overlooked by an extravagant outdoor dining area that can accompany up to 30 residences.
02:43The island is just a 10 minute helicopter ride from Athens, Greece, making it one of the most desirable islands in the Mediterranean.
02:5035 million dollars, Coralvo Island, Mexico.
02:54Off the coast of Mexico, Coralvo Island is 60 miles east of the city of La Paz.
02:59This massive island is completely uninhabited and is currently up for sale for the steep price of 35 million dollars.
03:06The price of this island comes partly from the size of the island, as is all of 18 miles long.
03:11The arid desert climate offers one of the more consistent climates in the world with steady warm temperature and little rainfall.
03:18The landscape of Coralvo is mountainous and rich with vegetation.
03:23Another selling point for the island is the rich sea life that surrounds the land.
03:27The ocean floor drops dramatically off the coast of the island and the perfect temperatures and calm weather make it a perfect destination for sea exploration.
03:3535 million, Hog Cay Bahamas.
03:38Coming in at number 7 on the list is Hog Cay, priced at 35 million dollars.
03:44Hog Cay brings us back to the Bahamas and it's just miles from Bird Cay, the 10th item on our list.
03:49Hog Cay keeps with the animal theme of many islands in the Bahamas, but recently has become known as the Blue Island.
03:55This island is one of the few islands where you can actually land your private jet.
04:00While most islands can only be accessed by boat or helicopter, Blue Island is long enough to do the job for a private jet.
04:07And if there's one thing millionaires love as much as their private islands, it's their private jets.
04:12Of all of the private islands in the Bahamas, Blue Island is the only one with a jet port.
04:17So, as you can imagine, the island is quite large and has had significant development.
04:22The island is all of 700 acres and has earned the title of the most accessible private island.
04:2839 million dollars.
04:30Charles Island, Bahamas.
04:32Charles Island is a luxury tropical development island in waiting in idyllic Spanish Wales, Bahamas.
04:38The 55 acre island, which is near Harbor Island, is on the market for 39 million dollars.
04:44Charles is being presented as a mini Dubai, as its potential for a mixed-use luxury property is enormous, with open zoning.
04:52The undeveloped island is literally a stone's throw from the lively and development Spanish Wales.
04:57Whoever eventually cashes out and purchases this island for 39 million, will have access to all of the facilities and tourist attractions from their neighbors.
05:06And will have endless possibilities when deciding what to do with the blank landscape that is the private island.
05:1340 million dollars.
05:15Motutain, Bora Bora, French Polynesia.
05:18Once again, we leave the Bahamas for the last time and travel to French Polynesia, where we find Motutain.
05:24The 40 million dollar island in Bora Bora.
05:27Bora Bora is a name that should be very familiar to anyone caught up on the luxurious life of the mega rich.
05:33It has become a household name in the luxury scene.
05:36Motutain is one of the smallest islands to make the list.
05:39But trust me, the island is as stunning as it is small.
05:43Located just 10 minutes by boat from the main island of Bora Bora in French Polynesia, Motutain comes with everything you need for a luxurious relaxation.
05:52Motutain is encircled by a truly magical white sand palm-fronted beach on turquoise waters.
05:58The majestic villas sprawl across the island and are completely integrated, with thatched roofs and vast decks in order to create a sense of complete harmony with the surrounding nature.
06:08Along with the serene comfort, the island is also rather easily accessible.
06:13There are convenient overnight flights from Los Angeles to Tahiti.
06:17From Tahiti, it's a 45 minute flight to Bora Bora.
06:20All of these amazing features lead to the price of 40 million dollars.
06:2445 million dollars.
06:26Hans Lohlik Islands, US Virgin Islands.
06:29At number 4 on our list comes a pair of islands.
06:32The only item on our list under the United States.
06:35These two islands in the Virgin Islands are being sold as a pair for 45 million dollars.
06:40The pair of islands is just north of St. Thomas.
06:43The larger island of the two is called the Great Hans Lohlik, while its sidekick is referred to as the Little Hans Lohlik.
06:49The larger island is nearly 500 acres and, like its small neighbor, is untouched and free of any development.
06:56The coconut beaches on either island, along with stunning cliffs and vibrant marine life, make the pair a perfect place to set up a getaway home or perhaps an upscale resort.
07:06The Little Hans Lohlik is just 100 acres.
07:08The bundle of islands offers so many options for island buyers as they have two islands to work with.
07:14If it were me spending 45 million, I would set up a resort with a golf course on the big island and turn the smaller one into my private residences.
07:22But that's just me.
07:24Let me know what you guys would do in the comments with your own private island.
07:2865 million dollars.
07:30Kay Chapel, Belize.
07:32Kay Chapel is a rather large private island in Belize with a rather large price tag to match.
07:37The island was once owned by Isaiah Emmanuel Morta, who was Belize's first African millionaire.
07:43The island comes with a fully fitted airstrip, an 18-hole golf course, several resorts, including a Four Seasons and one massive clubhouse, with all of the accommodations a luxury private island could ask for.
07:57The island's resorts offer top-of-the-line facilities that are environmentally friendly as they are expensive.
08:03The island holds up a strict image of sustainability and an attitude that protects the beautiful waters surrounding it.
08:09It goes without saying that snorkeling and scuba diving are an essential characteristic of Kay Chapel and all of the resorts on the island.
08:17100 million dollars.
08:19100 million dollars.
08:20Ronde Island, Granada.
08:21Until just recently, Ronde Island was the most expensive private island on the planet, at an even and incredible price of 100 million dollars.
08:30Since 2007, this 2,000-acre private island has been on the market, but a buyer has yet to be found.
08:37The beautifully lush island is untouched by development.
08:40The unique shape of the island creates two bays on adjacent shores of the island.
08:45The waters surrounding the island are extremely clear and offer superb visibility down to 100 feet.
08:51These features make the coast the perfect place for an array of recreational beach activities.
08:56Along with these bays comes another geographic feature that is sure to win the heart of some billionaires in the market for an island.
09:02Ronde Island has a cave system wide enough to swim through.
09:05All of these amazing natural amenities make Ronde Island the second most expensive island on the planet.
09:11240 million euros.
09:14310 million dollars.
09:16Lisbon Island, Portugal.
09:18Some estimates for this massive island just outside of Lisbon, Portugal claim the island will sell for around 350 million dollars.
09:26But to avoid the risk of getting too far ahead of ourselves, let's just leave the estimate closer to the listing price of 310 million dollars.
09:34This island is virtually on the doorstep of Lisbon itself and is a massive 3,000 acres.
09:40There has been talk of turning the island into a luxury golf course complete with residential units.
09:45As the island is a prime spot for potential development and is unusual in the fact that it remains undeveloped,
09:51whilst being so close to a heavily populated area such as Lisbon.
09:55The island will most likely be purchased by multiple investors with an eye to develop it into whatever they see fit.
10:02But talk is just talk until someone with a big enough bank decides to make the 310 million dollar purchase.
10:09Well, my YouTube friends, there you have it.
10:12The 10 most expensive private islands on the planet.
10:15Until next time.
