Pitt and Jolie bought an artificial island near Dubai

Dubai - Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have purchased one of the islands in the artificial archipelago being built in the sea off the coast of Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. This star couple reportedly wants to live a unique ecological lifestyle there.
    The island shaped like Ethiopia is part of a megaproject called The World, consisting of 300 islands, clarified the newspaper Emirates Today. Pitt and Jolie reportedly want to use this island as an "eco-exhibition" to encourage people to live more ecologically.
    The construction project for artificial islands near Dubai began in 2004. Sand extracted from the sea along the coast is primarily used as building material. The archipelago is meant to be visible from space in the shape of a world map and is expected to be completed according to plan in 2008.
    The World archipelago, along with three other artificial islands - Palm Jumeirah, Palm Jebel Ali, and Palm Deira - is the work of the company Nakheel. They refused to confirm the information that one of the islands was bought by Pitt and Jolie, unlike the American representatives of the couple and other credible sources.
    The 32-year-old Jolie raises four children with 43-year-old Pitt. In addition to their own sixteen-month-old daughter Shiloh, they have three adopted children - six-year-old Cambodian Maddox, three-year-old Vietnamese Pax, and two-year-old Zahara from Ethiopia.
    This large family will have neighbors on their newly purchased island including billionaire Richard Branson and singer Rod Stewart, who have also secured parts of The World.
    The artificial version of The World near Dubai is to cover an area of 5.5 million square meters, of which 930,000 square meters will be beaches.
    The individual islands are approximately one hundred meters apart and range in size from 11,148 to 41,806 square meters. Their prices range from 23 to 135 million dirhams (approximately 112.2 million to 664 million Czech korunas).
    Dubai, one of the seven emirates, is establishing itself in international awareness as a center of trade and tourism, where dozens of grandiose projects are being realized. Among them is the Burj Dubai skyscraper, which has been leading the rankings of the tallest buildings in the world even before its completion. In July this year, this silvery tower of steel and glass became the tallest standing building, surpassing the 508-meter tall Taiwanese skyscraper Taipei 101. In September, with a height of 555.3 meters, it also took the lead among free-standing structures.
