Well away from the public’s prying eyes and the always inquisitive paparazzi, some privately owned islands provide the perfect setting for the mega-rich to spend their holidays. From Richard Branson’s star-haunt to actor Eddie Murphy’s hideaway, these multi-billionaire boltholes are the penultimate retreats for some of the wealthiest people around the globe.

Funnyman Eddie Murphy actually purchased has his own island retreat, Rooster Cay for $15 million in 2007, when the controversial comedy film Norbit was released. The over 6 hectares of virgin tropical land is a short boat ride away from Nassau, the capital of the Bahamas and owned another island in the same area named Pearl Cay, with bright blue seas and white, sandy beaches. He’s happy with a quiet lifestyle and keeps to himself. Rooster Cay is best suited for a luxury development, and Murphy may yet step into the world of hospitality.

Richard Branson – Necker Island, British Virgin Islands

Sir Richard Branson popularised celebrities having their own island getaway, having bought uninhabited Necker Island in 1978 for only $180,000. The Virgin boss started inviting celebrity mates for holidays, including Princess Diana and Nelson Mandela. Necker is a 30 hectare plot of land situated within the British Virgin Islands. The resort has mooring facilities for luxury yachts and houses 34 guests and was designed with a Balinese theme which Branson rents out for $62,000 a day. Necker has suffered from disasters in 2011, when the Great House burned down and in 2017, Necker was devastated by Hurricane Irma. Most structures had been repaired by April 2018.

However, despite the island’s pristine beauty of the island, excellent fishing spots and plenty of nooks to hide away in, the island is completely undeveloped, lacking facilities and needs plenty of care and the island and is for sale at $7 million.
