Vladi Private Islands

Personally, I think i'm gonna go with Las Colipichigual .

Dude, I'd buy this and feel like a badass. I'd name it, "The Isle of DEAAAAATH". Except for its all peaceful like. But seriously, all criminal msterminds have an island as a strategic base of operation -- like Cobra Commander. I love Cobra Commander.

That's not an island. This is an island:

http://www.privateislandsonline.com/longocau.htm

"This private island is immense, so big, in fact, that there are actually 4 countries in the world with a smaller surface area"

8700 acres (3520.77 ha) US $1,250,000

Although this one is nice too:

http://www.privateislandsonline.com/galloousny.htm

"This immense private island in Lake Ontario, 17 miles (27.4 km) from Watertown, is the second largest private island in the US. It features 15 miles (24 km) of shoreline, including 3 miles (4.8 km) of rugged cliffs. Sand, stone and pebble beaches line its shores, which also features 2 natural harbours for protected docking. A 23 mile (37 km) road network criss-crosses the island, and a 4000 foot (1219 m) airstrip provides direct access. The main residence is an 8-bedroom lodge, complete with cathedral ceilings, fireplaces, and a large deck. Also present is a 2-bedroom caretaker's cottage, clubhouse with concrete deck and dock, generator building, and a historic lighthouse. A herd of 400 deer make their home on Galloo, and the island is a sportsman's dream. Included with the property are 2 yachts, a ferry, a small plane, and 2 trucks. A 3 acre (1.2 ha) mainland property with boathouse is also included, and is 6 miles (9.7 km) from the island."

Sadly, it's been sold.

If you want a base for your attempt at world domination then you need a smoking volcano in the middle! You've also got to hollow the volcano out and build a large underground lair inside...

Or if you are in the UK choose a nuclear fallout observation bunker in one of 19 exciting locations

There's even one near me!. The one at Selsey would make an interesting alternative to a beach hut.

I think that this was linked before, but it's still relevant.

Yes, but you'd have to import your own snakes. Preferably Death Adders.

And you'd have to surround the island with sharks WITH BIG FRICKING LASERS ATTACHED TO THEIR HEADS!
