Not far from Miami, in the Atlantic Ocean, there is a small man-made island less than a square kilometer in size - Fisher Island . The most expensive city in the world is located on the island. Not even a city, but a closed club, membership in which you need to buy, and the coveted club ticket costs 250 thousand dollars . The spending will not end there: the annual contribution is about 21 thousand dollars, plus contributions "on trifles" for public needs. In addition to membership in the club, you need to rent or purchase real estate. Housing, for obvious reasons, is expensive - from 700 thousand to 10 million dollars . Oh yes, the island is closed: you can get here by helicopter or on a yacht for which a pier is equipped.
Why so expensive?
A logical question: what does a person gain for such fabulous money? There are villas, multi-storey club houses and hotels on the island. Entertainment includes tennis courts, golf courses, swimming pools equipped with everything you need. All this splendor is adorned with exquisite landscape design: artificial lakes and palm trees, incredibly beautiful green spaces and flower arrangements. White sand was brought from the Bahamas, and the ears of billionaires are pleasing to the singing of decorative birds, which are also specially brought to the island.
Leaving the island, or rather descending from Olympus, to go to the mainland for the sake of pressing matters, is not at all necessary - everything you need for a comfortable life is at hand: a bank, a school, playgrounds, an observatory, a post office, of course, a medical center with spas, numerous restaurants.
Credit cards and cash are not in use on the island, it has its own payment system: a resident has a registered account, on the balance of which funds are located and are debited when using services on the island.
Who works on the island?
The staff working on the island speaks several languages and are trained to satisfy any whims and desires of the locals. Teachers at the school teach children foreign languages, the basics of financial literacy and information technology.
The island has a fire department and a security service. Armed men patrol the area around the clock, both on land and on the water - no stranger will pass. If you are going to the island to visit a friend, you must have a pre-agreed invitation, personal data from which is transferred to security.
