The Hawaiian island of Lanai, a 90,000-acre paradise, was purchased by Oracle founder Larry Ellison in 2012 for $300 million, making it the most expensive island ever sold. Ellison now owns 98% of Lanai, while the remaining 2% is owned by the state. The entrepreneur has since invested another $450 million in projects on the island, which houses two five-star hotels and a town of 3,200 people.
