Dubai’s Prince Gives Island as a Gift
When you’re a prince and extremely rich, I guess you can afford to own, and give away, an island. One of these, in fact:
Dubai’s crown prince Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum gave famed F1 racer Michael Schumacher one of the islands in ‘The World’, a group of 300 man-made luxury islands shaped like the world’s continents. It is located off Dubai’s coast and is scheduled to be completed by 2012. Schumacher’s gift is one of the islands in “Antarctica”.
