In 1965, the late American actor Marlon Brando acquired the island for 99 years . He did it after filming the movie Rebellion on board , falling completely in love with an idyllic landscape. Previously, it was owned by the dentist Johnston W. Williams , who received it from the Pomare royal family in recognition of his medical services.

Following Brando’s death in 2004, the island now belongs to his son, Teihotu Brando . Of course, 2 hectares are owned by Michael Jackson , thanks to the fact that Marlon Brando gave them to him as a sign of friendship.

Now on the island there are hotel plans in sight. The aim is to create a luxury resort made from ecological materials and aimed at an audience with a very full portfolio. This is how Marlon Brando defined the piece of land that he could buy for a fortune:

The happiest times of my life have been in Tahiti. If I was ever close to finding a genuine place in the world, it was on my own island among the Tahitians.
