While yes, the internationally successful television star is loaded, he bought the island for like 91k in 2001. It had been abandoned, rat infested, and pretty heavily battered by winter storms. Including renovations he probably paid like 200k-250k total, which for a 20 acre private island less than a mile from the coast is fucking nuts. Even if he has to travel a couple miles by boat to get groceries.
I know shit sucks but thats the price of a modest sized single family household, or even less depending on where you are. He paid for it before he began doing TV shit, he had a military pension and whatever he earned from doing charity stunts (circumnavigating the isles on jetskis, paddling naked in a bathtub) when he bought it. It's not defending him to point out that it's fairly attainable unless you're completely trapped in poverty. What purpose does you making a mountain out of it serve?
