Ricky Martin has had a successful career both in front of the microphone and in front of the cameras, but it wasn't until 'Livin' La Vida Loca' became a worldwide smash hit that he really started to see big money rolling into his bank account. Fortunately for him, once it started it never really stopped, and in 2008 he had enough saved up to buy an island off the coast of Brazil. It capped off a great twelve months for Martin; it was the same year his twins were born.
Martin lives on the island full time, meaning he has time and space to raise his children without fear of unwelcome photographers poking their noses into his business. He's paid for a full-sized mansion to be built on the retreat - because why wouldn't you - but aside from that he's believed to have left the beautiful landscape untouched.
