From Fortune:

Google co-founder Larry Page has purchased another private island, this time in Puerto Rico. In 2018, Page bought a different island, Cayo Norte, for $32 million. Page owns private islands throughout the Caribbean and South Pacific, paying $23 million for the Lollik Islands in the U.S. Virgin Islands archipelago. Other purchases include Eustatia Island in the British Virgin Islands and a majority share of the deed for Fiji’s Tavarua Island. Page reportedly spent months hiding on Tavarua during the pandemic. Since stepping back from leadership roles at Google’s parent company, Alphabet, in 2019, Page has receded from public life but retains control of the company. The reason for his purchase of the islands remains a mystery. Some speculate they’re reclusive retreats for Page, while others believe he wishes to use them as “safe spaces” for scientific experiments. Regardless of Page’s reasoning, private islands have long been a status symbol among the world’s elite, dating here in the first issue of Fortune magazine printed in 1930, and they remain so now.
