Does anyone know of anyone who has bought their own island?

[triplets]

Hi my best friend recently bought a tiny island in Lake Nicaragua, very exciting! She has been asked to feature in a American tv prog called Island Hunters but she is unsure. Anyone ever heard of this? Obv she has googled it but what she is trying to find out is if there is anyone in the UK that has done this. Thanks :)

Um, well there is one mnetter who has her own island, yes

I know people who have inherited them...

And yes, a MNer that owns one

I would steer very clear of any US television programme makers!

Yes, there is that MNer.

I know a couple in RL who own their own island. It's not tiny, either.

I only clicked on this because it made me think of Xenia . [helpful]

House Hunters is very similar to Location, Location, Location. A family are shown around 3 properties then they decide which one to buy, it's been running for years on HGTV so is very well known in America.

I have a feeling she is tempted to do the show, I think she would feel happier if she could talk to someone else that has been on it. She is soooo excited about her plans to do up the properties on it, then she hopes to rent it but only to one group of friends. Knowing her and her interior design skills it will be quite something! There is a you tube video on it the island is called El Coyol in Lake Nicaragua.
