    I was talking to my brother today and he sent me a link to a site he was browsing http://www.privateislandsonline.com

    This site is pretty cool, with some nice islands, ranging from around 100k to millions of dollars.

    I bet a bunch of you dream about buying an island someday..

    Has anybody out there actually done it?

    The problem is not only paying for the island but the services.

    If you really want to live comfortably, you need to build up a mini-city with all services included within your property... and find people you can trust in, or you will be dead man :rolleyes:

    Would be nice to own one in Australia on the Barrier reef.
    How would one get internet connection out there?

    If my memory serves me right, I've watched an episode of VH1 where Dubai (not sure about this lolz) is developing man made islands called "Globe" because it is patterned on what else, Earth :)

    It's good that you remembered, you don't want an island billed to your credit card :D

    Kind of reminds me of this guy:
    http://www.paymyisland.com/

    He posted some threads and PMs here, trying to get people to start donating so that he could buy an island. I don't know what he'll get for $13...

    Haha. I was just looking at the one you suggested (Lark Caye, Belize) and there was a google ad in the middle of the description that said "Belize Sucks" "Do not travel to Belize until you read this shocking report."

    Nice ad to have on a page where you are trying to sell property in Belize :p
