Yep, you read right, the Antarctic\u2026in Dubai. Not really, though! \u2018Antarctic\u2019 here refers to one of the 300 artificially made islands off the coast of Dubai. The archipelago known as The World is an architectural feat, with the islands designed to mirror the shape of the world map. This island was gifted to former Formula 1 racer Michael Schumacher by Dubai\u2019s crown prince Sheik Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, as a retirement present. Antarctic Island is worth a whopping $7 million and can only be reached via boat or helicopter. After the racing legend\u2019s unfortunate skiing accident in December 2013, the fate of the island remains unknown.

This is the home and favorite hideaway of Virgin Group CEO, Sir Richard Branson, by his very own admission. He purchased the 74-acre island way back in 1978 for a measly $180,000, when he was only 28. He invested $10 million to develop the resort, in a three year timeframe. He built a 10-bedroom Balinese-style villa, with Brazilian wood, Asian antiques, Indian rugs as well as fabrics and bamboo from Bali. The Grand House (the island\u2019s largest and main structure) made international headlines in August 2011, when a fire burnt down the house. British actress Kate Winslet, who was a guest of Branson at the time, heroically pulled out his 90-year old mother, Eve from the burning building. Both women, together with Branson\u2019s 29-year old daughter Holly and the other guests at the house escaped the flames, unscathed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
