Richard Branson – $180,000, Necker Island
Net Worth: $6 Billion
Richard Branson bought Necker Island after hearing about it in the ’70s and immediately negotiated an incredible deal. Upon inspecting the land in a ploy to impress a girl named Joan Templeman, Richard Branson made an offer of $100,000 on the $6 million asking price.
A year later, the realtor contacted him, desperate to sell, and that’s when Branson bought the 74-acre island for $180,000. Branson has hosted some of the world’s most notable personalities, including ex-President Barack Obama, Kate Winslet, and the late Nelson Mandela. The girl that Branson aimed to impress all those years ago ended up becoming his wife.
