If You Live On This Teeny Tiny Miami Island You Ve Won The Game Of Life

Each property on the island is on the waterfront with gorgeous views. The island features the notoriously exclusive Indian Creek Country Club. The golf course occupies the entire interior of the island. It sounds like a good place to visit, doesn’t it? Don’t bother unless a resident has invited you to the island. The only way onto the island is via a heavily guarded bridge. In fact, security is one of the most sought after attributes of this elite enclave. The island has its own police force that patrols the island 24 hours a day by land as well as on boats and Jet Skis. Let’s take a look at the billionaires who inhabit the .4 square miles known as the billionaire bunker. Julio Iglesias – $300 million net worth The Latin singer put his home on the market in 2008. When it failed to sell, he tore it down and bought the house next door for $15.2 million in 2012. Anonymous Russian – net worth unknown An anonymous Russian bought the property next door to Iglesias in 2012 for $47 million. His identity is still unknown. However, the spec house was bought in the name of a trust who’s trustee is a Russian attorney named Andrey M. Kaydin. Mr. Kaydin has represented his anonymous client in scooping up other posh real estate as well, including a $22 million penthouse in New York City’s 15CPW. Norman Braman – $1.9 billion net worth Former Philadelphia Eagles owner and car dealership magnate, Norman Braman, bought a home in this exclusive neighborhood for $3.9 million in 1991.
