Are you on the list?

Dubai real estate development company Nakheel just released around 50 VIP invitations to view The World, their new development off the coast of Dubai. The World features 303 man-made islands meant to roughly mimic most of the countries in the actual world. A Nakheel representative describes the nuances of the guest list in stating that "owning an island on The World is not for everyone, even if they have the money. We are building the most prestigious address on the planet here and we have to carefully pick and chose those who want to live here."
