How'd you like to own your own island? It'd be pretty sweet, right? And sure, while owning a beautiful tropical island would be nice and all, think about the logistics. You'd be pretty far from civilization, and you'd need to build your own infrastructure. You should just get an island that's a little more practical.

That's just what No Man's Land Fort is. It's a man-made island off the coast of Portsmouth, England that was built between 1861 and 1880. Initially built to house soldiers, it currently holds a luxury hotel with a pool, a couple of helipads, generators, and a fresh water supply. Sure, it might not be as picturesque as a tropical island, but it's a lot more practical. So what are you waiting for? Get $8 million together and get to buying! — Adam Frucci
