How many private islands does one person need?
If you’re Google co-founder Larry Page you collect at least five private islands (that we know about) scattered all around the world.
It was recently revealed that Larry Page purchased a 300-acre private island named Cayo Norte for $32 million in 2018 off the coast of Puerto Rico using a limited liability company named “US Virgin Island Properties”.
Larry Page and his wife Lucinda Southworth are listed as the trustees of the sole owners of the LLC according to a legal motion filed by the LLC in 2017 when it was incorporated. This is the same LLC that Larry Page has used previously to purchase other private islands across the Caribbean, including Hans Lollik and Little Hand Lollik islands in the U.S. Virgin Islands, which is 23 miles east of Cayo Norte, that he purchased in 2014 for $23 million dollars
And Larry Page certainly can afford it. He’s the world’s 8th-richest person, with an estimated net worth of $132 billion dollars.
Among Larry Page’s other private islands he owns is Tavarua Island in Fiji, Eustatia Island in the British Virgin Islands, and Hans Lollik and Little Hand Lollik in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
It sounds like it’s pretty good to be Larry Page.
