According to therichest.com here are a few of those amazing destinations where everyone would love to be when the rain makes you go to distant and warm places.

Celine Dion – Ile Gagnon, Quebec

Celine Dion decided that her private island should be close to home. The five-time Grammy Award-winning Celine Dion is widely regarded as one of the best-selling artists of all time. She has released several popular albums, including Falling into You, Let’s Talk About Love, and D’eux. Additionally, she has released several chart-topping singles, including “Nothing Broken but my Heart,” “Because You Loved Me” and “My Heart Will Go On.” Celine has an estimated net worth of $380 million and could have chosen to have her island anywhere in the world. For her island, she chose to stay in Canada. She purchased the 830,000 sq. ft. Ile Gagnon in her homeland of Quebec. She had a custom-built house, “Chateau” on the island. Eventually, she sold the home for $29.7 million.

Shakira – Bonds Cay, Bahamas

Shakira is one of the best-selling Latin artists of all time.

She has won several major awards including 28 Billboard Latin Music Awards, 8 Latin Grammy Awards, and 2 Grammy Awards. Shakira has an estimated net worth of $220 million.

At the time of the purchase, she had planned to turn the 700-acre island into a vacation resort.
