US billionaire selling private island

A SEATTLE billionaire who purchased the world’s most expensive car for $35 million is now attempting to sell his private Canadian island for $75 million.

Craig McCaw, who sold his company, McCaw Cellular, to AT&T for $11.5 billion in 1993 and now runs high-speed wireless provider Clearwire, is attempting to sell the 780-acre James Island, part of British Columbia’s Gulf Islands, with an asking price of $75 million, Seattlepi.com reported Wednesday.
The island currently hosts an 18-hole golf course, a 5,000-square-foot residence, six guest cottages, private docks, an airstrip, a pool house and a “western village.” McCaw said he is selling the island because his family has “the perfect storm of kids’ activities and no one wants to be left behind.”              –UPI
