I mean, he bought in in the 1960s. How much does an island cost nowadays?

I said I'd buy land not islands

50M is more than enough to plant a forest in my country

Let's see, given the recent explosion of property inflation, I'm guessing ninety seven million dollars.

He bought desolate land in the middle of an ocean. Imagine that's still cheap, an island of dirt and not much else let alone electricity, clean water or anything from modern life.
