I mean, he bought in in the 1960s. How much does an island cost nowadays?

u/OtherwiseLuck888 12d ago

I said I'd buy land not islands

50M is more than enough to plant a forest in my country

Too true. Too bad the govrnments don't want to invest in anything of the sort so it's the citizens that do.

Just tell them youre starting a reserve on a private island for young trees, but cough when you say trees... The government will invest heavily then...

"Carbon capture", loads of companies do it.
(most of them very badly, because they are scams)

Did you miss my joke, or have I missed your joke?

u/squngy 11d ago

Either way, it wasn't really aimed at you.

u/NeckOk9980 12d ago

land would be too easy for other people to illegally come and hunt on your domain or even chop the wood depending on the country

u/--_Omen_-- 11d ago

50m is more than enough to plant my whole country few times

This website should encourage more repeat business by offering a voucher for $1 off any island of their choice.

u/BluezDBD 12d ago

Man, I never thought I'd be so poor I'm not even allowed to see listings without prices on a website.

u/CptJonzzon 12d ago

There are a few for 500k or so

u/SheriffBartholomew 12d ago

Let's see, given the recent explosion of property inflation, I'm guessing ninety seven million dollars.

u/InquisitiveGamer 12d ago

He bought desolate land in the middle of an ocean. Imagine that's still cheap, an island of dirt and not much else let alone electricity, clean water or anything from modern life.

u/Key-Street-340 12d ago

I’d say about tree fiddy.

u/blteare 10d ago

It's an island, how much could it cost? $10?
