49 Celebrities Who Own Private Islands: Which Celeb Island Is Your Vacation Dream?
Richard Branson – Necker Island, $180K
The Virgin Group founder Richard Branson has had one of the greatest returns on his investments because when he purchased the Necker island back in the late 1970s, it had only cost him around $180K. Today, he has put up several luxury resorts and really proves that it was a smart purchase.
Branson’s island was torn down by a fire in 2011, but it reopened in 2018. Richard is a world-famous business magnate, who founded his group in the ’70s. Today, it owns over four hundred companies, which delve in all sorts of fields and branches.
