AU$145 million for a private island with a Bond villain lair, three beaches, and its own airstrip.
Dr Ivo Pitanguy – the legendary cosmetic surgeon who treated royalty, presidents, and Hollywood A-listers – bought this 75-acre island off Rio de Janeiro in 1973. It's hitting the market for the first time in over 50 years.
The reported guest list reads like fiction: Tom Cruise, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Brigitte Bardot, President Jimmy Carter, and Katie Holmes among them. (Pitanguy never confirmed his clients – the media did that for him.)
Six modernist bungalows with curved white walls and floor-to-ceiling glass sit across the island – a style the listing agents say bears "a striking resemblance" to Scaramanga's island lair in The Man with the Golden Gun.
The development potential is where it gets interesting for property minds. Existing permissions allow expansion to 2,782 sqm of built area, and agents at London's Beauchamp Estates suggest a proposed single mansion on the eastern end could lift the island's value by an additional US$135 million.
Founding Director Gary Hersham says it could remain an ultra-private retreat or become "a highly exclusive Necker Island style hospitality resort with 5-star amenities of global relevance."
Accessible by helicopter in 40 minutes from Rio or speedboat in 15 minutes from the mainland, with a marina built for 50-metre yachts.
If you could pitch this listing to one buyer in the world, who would it be?

Optimus is going to be one of the biggest equalizers humanity has ever seen. Bc when every family can access a robot that delivers world class medical care, it means the quality of your health no longer depends on your income, your zip code, or your background. I get it now.
Elon Musk on how Optimus will provide access to the best medical care for anyone in the world:
“Imagine a world where everyone has access to the best surgeons, literally everyone. And Optimus will have the level of precision that is frankly superhuman and will be able to do medical procedures, very sophisticated medical procedures, any medical procedure, perhaps things that humans can't even do because they're too difficult, and that will be available to anyone. People often talk about eliminating poverty and providing great medical care, but they never actually have a solution.
Money doesn't solve it, because there are only so many, there's a very limited number of great doctors and surgeons, they don't grow on trees. But now they all get built in factories.”
