$50M Will Get You Tanning On The Motu Tane Island In Bora Bora

I’m sure we’ve all dreamed, at one moment or another, about owning and living on a remote and beautiful private island, nestled in the middle of the ocean.  These dreams are not that difficult to accomplish, if you have some money in your bank account(s); a few million dollars – 1 to 5 – could do the trick usually, but there are islands more valuable than other, and Motu Tane seems to top them all.

The marvelous 9.75-acre island, located in the French Polynesia, can be purchased nowadays for an incredible price of $50 million.  Although it might be difficult to understand this heart-stopping asking price, you might be surprised to know that the famous French explorer and author Paul-Emile Victor once called this piece of heaven home.

Next in line was Francois Nars, of makeup brand Nars cosmetics, who rented it out for about $25,000 a day – with a private chef, three housekeepers, two waitresses and a manager included.

Motu Tane, or ‘Man’s Island’ in Tahitian, comes with hundreds of coconut trees, beautiful white sandy beaches, all around the island, and pristine turquoise waters.  It also features luxurious accommodations for up to 20 people, in a stunning setting redesigned by architect Christian Liaigre, who made sure this private island is completely one of a kind.

With no regards to expenses, the island benefits from extraordinary touches, with various pieces of art and blissful interior decorations.  But we think nothing can compare to the privilege of enjoying a virgin beach all on your own, and since this secluded location offers unparalleled privacy and complete relaxation, this might be the perfect place to retire.  Any takers?
