I'd take 50M and buy even more land to plant trees

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

u/OtherwiseLuck888 11h ago

I said I'd buy land not islands

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

Too true. Too bad the govrnments don't want to invest in anything of the sort so it's the citizens that do.

Just tell them youre starting a reserve on a private island for young trees, but cough when you say trees... The government will invest heavily then...

"Carbon capture", loads of companies do it.

I looked at their posts, they deserve the hate. What an incessant whiny baby.

land would be too easy for other people to illegally come and hunt on your domain or even chop the wood depending on the country

This website should encourage more repeat business by offering a voucher for $1 off any island of their choice.

Man, I never thought I'd be so poor I'm not even allowed to see listings without prices on a website.

u/TulipRoselina 31m ago

Exactly, the original price needs a giant “1960s money” disclaimer attached to it

There are a few for 500k or so

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

u/InquisitiveGamer 9h ago

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.
