Oprah Antigua The Billionaires PlaygroundsEven if the world, give a little signs of recovery from financial crisis, the billionaires has collected in a list by Forbes recently, were certainly richer last year, and nothing can stop them from enjoying their true dream vacation that allows to escape from the routine work and the commitments. Once again, Forbes is to reveal the tastes and the most popular destinations from this wealthy people who will not give up any luxuries or comfort for a holiday, you know, everything is permitted, otherwise what holiday is it?

Such as Oprah Winfrey, who already owns a beautiful villa rentals in California, prefer to enjoy the warm beaches of the Caribbean, actually do not think I’ve ever seen more water than crystalline. Oprah also retains its luxury holiday to Antigua, where you can meet so many other celebrities including Eric Clapton and Giorgio Armani (they love the “warm” vacation).

Even Richard Branson’s Virgin Records, one of the richest men in the United Kingdom, loves basking in the sun in the Caribbean Necker Island, his beautiful private island surrounded by turquoise waters, which can accommodate up to 28 guests. The island offers lots of water sports activities and long days on the beach and relax.But sometimes a hot destination is not sufficient and so Paul Allen, co-founder of Microsoft with Bill Gates prefers to spend the holiday in his private playground, called Octopus, and it is a mega yacht of 416 feet, from 200 million dollars. Indeed, not all holidays like fossilize in one place. This ship has two helicopters, a submarine, seven boats, a club, cinema, bars, swimming pools, basketball and even a room at IDI incision, where Paul Allen likes to spend some time strumming the guitar of Jimi Hendrix.

Some billionaires are attracted to colder climates, one of them is Roman Abramovich, he prefer to spend a few weekends on the parts of slopes in his wildcat ridge at Aspen, Colorado, when he’s not sailing his eclipse yacht.

Bill Gates apparently prefers cooler climates, since officially retiring from Microsoft in June 2008, was very often in Africa to care for some charities , the philanthropist prefers the icy atmosphere of his Apussuit Adventure Camp at West Greenland.

Unfortunately, we can still make us jump through hoops to enjoy a “normal” holiday, and in most cases we are prepared to satisfy even the very modest holiday.
