Buy a (virtual) island
March 30th, 2006For the less wealthy, the virtual world Second Life offers islands, beginning at $1,250 for 16 acres. Sixty-four acres can be had for $5,000.
The new owner can choose from “six different topologies,” name his island, and choose the rating (PG or M). Unlike most real islands, the new island can be moved, for a fee.
Of course, for about the same price as a small virtual island, you can rent Ranguana Caye, Belize, for a week.
