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.
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.
Paul Allen
Paul Allen was one of the founders of Microsoft, along with Bill Gates. Back in 2013, he sold his 292-acre island off the coast of Seattle, but he was the one who first developed the property.
The island still lacks much infrastructure, but it does have an airstrip and a log cabin, which is still pretty close to paradise.
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!
