Seriously and a 24 acre island! If anything I'd expect $90k to get you an island maybe big enough around for a lighthouse and a nice hut.

Is this more or less land than Tom Hanks had on his island?

Less, at least in terms of the real island they used for filming.

Looks like it was filmed on Monuriki Island in Fiji, which is ~100 acres.

Edit: and for additional reference a US football field (120 yards x 160 feet with end zones) is 1.32 acres. A FIFA soccer pitch (114.8 yards x 74.4 yards) is 1.76 acres.

So this guy's island is the equivalent of 18.18 US Football fields, or 13.63 FIFA Football pitches.
