It’s only accessible by boat or helicopter and all the island uses only eco-friendly solar power.

4. David Copperfield
The magician David Copperfield owns 11 islands in Southern Bahamas, valued $50 million. The biggest one is Musha Cay, where he has his private resort and spends 10 weeks a year. Must be nice!

The island has been rented by celebrities such as Oprah Winfrey and John Travolta.
5. Celine Dion
Singer Céline Dion owns the island of Île Gagnon, in Québec, Canada. It’s actually a relatively small island compared to the previous ones, but it’s got a huge French-style mansion on it. It even has local boat tours available for curious tourists.
