Richard Branson – Necker Island, $180K
If the name Richard Branson sounds familiar, it is probably because he founded the Virgin Group. In the late ‘70s, he bought the Necker Island for $180,000. He has since built luxury resorts there, which only goes to show that he knows how to manage his money. In 2011, the island was ravaged by a fire. After going through renovation and restoration efforts, it was reopened seven years later in 2018.
