Private island
Island owned by a single private citizen or corporation / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the television series, see Private Islands (TV series).
A private island is a disconnected body of land wholly owned by a private citizen or corporation. Although this exclusivity gives the owner substantial control over the property, private islands remain under the jurisdiction of national and sometimes local governments. Their size can vary widely, from that of a typical suburban yard to several hundred square kilometers.
