Tuesday, June 24th, 2014 (Wealth Daily) – Ever dream about owning your own private island? Now is the time to pursue that dream!

Private islands, the ultimate status symbol, are generally associated with the jet set, royalty, Hollywood’s elite, and business tycoons.

In 2009, Aga Khan [pictured (stock)], a respected religious figure and one of the world’s richest men (with an estimated net worth of $800 million), reportedly bought the 349-acre Bell Island in The Bahamas for $100 million — the highest price ever paid for a privately owned island.

Richard Branson [pictured (stock)] bought his Necker Island retreat in the Virgin Islands for a mere $305,770 in 1979, converting it into a one-of-a-kind private island retreat after investing $10 million.

The island is available for $56,000 per night for you and 28 of your closest friends: quite a steal, relatively speaking.
