How to buy an island? Reviewing an island for purchase

Farhad Vladi:
We have introduced the concept of “private islands”. Clients like Bill Gates, Johnny Depp buy islands… You know the story of Robinson Crusoe? This is his real gun.

Anatoly Letaev:
About three years ago I had a client approach me who wanted to buy not only a passport, but also an island. At that time, I did not know that such a business even existed and how it worked.

I was very interested in this idea, and I decided to investigate the topic.

Three years have passed, and today I get to speak with the owner of a company that he created 50 years ago.

He is still the only one in this market, which he also created. His name is Farhad Vladi and right now we are flying to him.

On March 14, 1971, he sold his first island, Cousin, in the Seychelles. To date, the number of buyers to whom he sold islands has reached 3,000!
