Fisher Island is the most expensive address in the world and one of the most private places in the United States.

The largest number of billionaires and multimillionaires per square meter on the planet lives right here, reports “Voice of America".

Fisher Island from the mainland of Miami separates only about a kilometer of water. Most of the locals and tourists in Miami have the opportunity to see this island only from the other side of the strait and not otherwise.

From a bird's eye view on the island you can see the reserves of fuel in huge tanks. This place can exist completely autonomously for several weeks.

The ferry to the island is similar to the border. The lines for residents and guests are separate from the lines for cooks and nannies working on the island.

It is possible to get to the island only on the ferry (it is prohibited to build a helipad there), but the entrance to it is allowed only with a special pass, otherwise the guards will not miss.

According to realtor Daniel Pansky, famous people live on the island: hockey players Kovalchuk, Pavel Bure, actress Julia Roberts, host Oprah Winfrey.

In the middle of the island there is a huge golf course, tennis courts and several fashionable restaurants, two yacht clubs, a school and a separate bank. For the right to use all this, you must pay 280 thousand dollars a year.

Pansky said that local restaurants do not take money or credit cards. Each resident opens his restaurant in the restaurant, which puts money, and then they are removed when visiting places.

Fisher Island is an artificial island created in 1905. Initially, it belonged to one person - the flamboyant auto tycoon and developer Karl Fischer.

10-15% of the island’s inhabitants are Russians or people with Russian roots who use the Russian language to communicate.

“There are a lot of people here from Brazil and Russia, who are very rich, who are used to coming in bulletproof cars, who are used to driving around with security guards,” Pansky said.

There is another strict rule on Fisher Island: for whatever offshore companies and companies the names of the owners of local real estate are hidden in official documents, you must write your real name in your apartment.

This rule is especially disliked by Russian officials who also have apartments on the island.

This island was given for debts and exchanged for yachts. For a time, Fisher Island belonged to the famous Vanderbilt family of magnates, they even owned Richard Nixon, just before he became President of the United States.

It has its own rules and, in some ways, even its own laws: the speed limit is not the same as everywhere else in the USA - exactly 19 miles (about 31 km) per hour - an odd number that makes you think and slow down.

A lot of funny stories are connected with the island. Cuban illegal immigrants, wading in boats at night in Miami, often confuse Fisher Island with the mainland and land on the island, not knowing that there is no escape.

Illegals on the island are caught for a couple of hours.

The island is gradually losing popularity among American stars, but the rich from Russia and other countries are increasingly settling on it.
