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 recently purchased an apple-green 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO, one of only 39 GTOs made from 1962 to 1964, for $35 million. (UPI)

억만장자 '초호화 무인도' 새주인 찾는다


미국 시애틀의 억만장자가 캐나다에 위치한 개인 소유의 섬을 7,500만 달러(한화 880억원)에 내놓았다.

이 섬의 주인 크레이그 맥카우는 지난 1993년 맥카우 세룰러를 AT&T에게 115억 달러(13조 4천억원)에 매도하고 현재 광속 무선인터넷을 제공하는 클리어와이어를 운영하고 있다.

맥카우는 캐나다 태평양 연안에 있는 브리티시컬럼비아주에 위치한 면적 780에이커(약 90만평)에 달하는 제임스아일랜드를 매물로 내놓았다.

이 섬은 18개 홀을 갖춘 골프코스와 1,524km² 크기의 주택, 6개의 손님용 별장, 개인용 선착장, 활주로와 풀하우스 등을 갖추고 있다.

한편 맥카우는 최근 1962년부터 1964년간 단 39대 생산된 청사과색의 페라리 250 GTO를 3,500만달러에(409억원) 구입해 화제를 모으기도 했다.
