10. Baliceaux Island
Baliceaux is part of the Grenadine island chain and is more than just a hideaway for wealthy types. Covering 320 acres, it features a range of undeveloped natural terrain, such as beaches, meadows and things that have remained untouched since the days of Blackbeard the pirate!

9. Castaway Cay
Castaway Cay is an interesting island, because although it’s a beautiful little patch of land in the Bahamas it’s also owned by the Walt Disney Company. This means while there are lots of fascinating local features, you’re also very much in a tourist resort. And you know everything will be perfectly manicured and taken care of for you!!

8. Diamond Cay
If you’re wondering what “cay” means by the way, it’s another term for a bank or reef made of rock, sand or coral. Cays are very attractive to the rich for their privacy!! Which brings us to Diamond Cay, a 1.40 acre island located in the Caribbean British Virgin Islands. Actually it’s not so much an island as an “islet” which makes it sound kinda cute.The cay is a bird sanctuary and was designated as a national park in 1991.

7. Emerald Cay
Located in the Turks and Caicos islands on the warmer side of the Atlantic Ocean, is Emerald Cay. This private island, which covers around 2 acres, was developed over 6 years into a modern estate. This place is surrounded by tropical luxury and high tech, a pretty awesome combination!!

6. Entalula Island
While number 5 probably made you feel jealous, you might feel a little better with this next one because while it’s a private island, there is a section that’s open to the public. So people without an eye-watering bank balance can enjoy the views also.

5. Guana Island
Okay so all these islands are really expensive as you might expect. Buying one might be out of your budget, but what about hiring a private island? That sounds like a better option, right??

4. Lyford Cay, Bahama
Sometimes it seems like the people who live on private islands have it all. Beautiful houses, great views and of course an exclusive level of privacy not given to mere mortals such as you and me.

3. Motukawaiti Island
This 93 acre natural wonder is part of the Cavalli Islands which are found in Northern New Zealand. It’s sadly been tied up in various legal wranglings over the years but hopefully has a bright future ahead of it after being marketed for a cool $16 million last year.

2. Sofitel Bora Bora Private Island
This little slice of paradise is tucked away in the South Pacific, part of the famous Bora Bora region. Sofitel Bora Bora Private Island is called a “motu”, meaning that it’s small.

1. Turtle Island, Fiji
It’s said the friendliest private island out there is Turtle Island. The 500 acre Fijian getaway was the brainchild of businessman Richard Evanson who turned the old place from a hangout for goats to a couples’ resort in the 1970s.

9: Volocopter 2X
With more people living in cities than in rural areas, traffic congestion is getting worse. To address this pressing problem, key transportation players are looking to the skies.
Forget self driving cars, your next means of commute might be a flying machine like the Volocopter 2X! It’s a multi-rotator electronic helicopter with 18 propellers. Its cabin seats two people and it can fly without any human intervention.

8: V-22 Osprey
In 1980, President Jimmy Carter sent the US military to rescue 52 American workers held captive at the US embassy in Tehran. The mission failed, but the army learned some hard lessons.
There was an urgent need for an aircraft that could transport and deploy combat troops on any surface quickly. It had to have a good range, speed, and the ability to perform an amphibious landing.

7: Mil Mi-10
The Mil Mi-10 is a large helicopter categorized as an aerial crane. The Soviets made it in the 1960s to transport bulky loads.
It was an improvement on the Mi-6 helicopter. And, it holds several world records for transporting heavy loads at high altitudes. On 28 May 1965, it airlifted a load of 25,105 kg (11,387lbs.) to an altitude of 2,000 m (6,600 ft.)

6: AH-1Z Viper
This helicopter is a technologically advanced military helicopter, launched in the year 2000. The US Marine Corps incorporated it in 2010, and full-scale production began in 2012.
The intimidating viper has some of the best weapons and technologies, such as an infrared suppression system, radar jammer, and a radar warning system.

5: Hughes XH-17
Dubbed as the ‘Flying Crane,’ it was one of the first attempts to create a heavy-lifting helicopter in the US.
The Kellett Aircraft Corporation designed the XH-17 but sold the blueprints to the Hughes Aircraft Company in 1947.
Howard Hughes, the company’s founder (remember him?) commissioned the XH-17 to be built. By 1948, it had taken shape. To cut costs, the fabricators salvaged parts from World War 2 airplanes.

4: MIL V-12
The Mil V-12 is another gigantic Soviet helicopter, which holds the world record for the biggest helicopter ever produced.
But, it resembles a normal airplane with rotors attached to the wings. So, why did the Soviets decide to build such a monster?
The Mil V-12 was meant to transport heavy loads such as missiles to the remotest regions of Siberia. Normal planes could not handle the task since the areas lacked airports.

3: Sikorsky X2
Commercial jet planes cruise at speeds of 878 km/h (546 mph) to 926 km/h (575 mph). One of the fastest civil helicopter, the H155 made by Airbus Helicopter, has a mere top speed of 324 km/h (201 mph).
Evidently, helicopters are slow. But, the Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation based in Connecticut, aims to change this by churning out fast models such as the X2.

2: De Lackner HZ-1
The HZ-1, also known as the “Aerocycle” was a one-man helicopter, made for the average soldier for use in battlefields.
It had a small engine, which would drive two rotor propellers. Strangely, the soldier would stand on a platform, directly over the blades.
De Lackner refused to include any sort of safety device between the platform and the blades. Therefore, you really had to stay put and avoid falling off during a flight.

1: Boeing CH-47 Chinook
It’s an American heavy-lift chopper manufactured by Boeing Rotorcraft Systems. More than 1,200 twin-engine Chinooks have been built since the year 1962. A unit goes for $38.5 million.
This badass chopper was named after the Native American Chinook people, who occupied modern-day Washington State.
To transport troops and cargo efficiently, it has multiple doors across its fuselage. Using its three external hooks, it can also carry unslung loads.

10. He Was A "Fun-Minded" Ruler
It's very, very, easy to think that all rulers of all nations have to be serious and focused in order to rule the country, but with King Henry VIII, he was kind of a different story. While he was a capable ruler, he also preferred to have fun. For example, he was actually a "late riser", and didn’t want to be disturbed until 8 am, which is not something you'd associate with a king.

9. He Wasn't Supposed To Be King
When it comes to next in line for the throne, it is always the first born son. In the case of Henry VIII, he was in fact, the 2nd son and was raised as such. You might have already known this but many people forget. For most of his young life, he was often ignored by his father who was often with his older brother Arthur.

8. He Was Athletic
Another thing that is often associated with kings and monarchs are their "frames", or their physical build. Basically if they were fat or skinny. Many aren't depicted as athletic or refined, even though portraits were made to make people look good, kings were known for getting lax and fat when they get on the throne, but not Henry VIII. He was actually very athletic and he enjoyed doing outdoor activities like hunting and hawking.

7. He Was A Sophisticated Eater
Another portrait that has "haunted" the image of King Henry VIII is one of him eating a meal and then subsequently throwing a chicken leg over his head to show that he was "done with it." This seemed to paint him as a messy eater, but in fact, this was not the case. He was actually a rather picky eater, not in the meals he ate, but how he ate them.

6. His Love Life
Easily one of the most famous things about Henry VIII is that he had a lot of wives and mistresses. In fact, you could argue that it's THE most known thing about him, and that would have suited him just fine. He was known to be very exacting on what he wanted from women. Which is why he had six official wives and numerous mistresses.

5. He Wrote A Religious Book
The time of King Henry VIII was very much one defined by faith and the Catholic Church. So, when Martin Luther wrote a book called Ninety-five Theses that openly challenged the beliefs and practices of the Catholic Church, a lot of people were shocked. One of them was King Henry VIII. He was not only a Catholic himself (at the time), but he believed in the power of the Church and the Pope.

4. He Killed More People Than Any Other Monarch
As he got older, King Henry VIII became a very bitter man. He started getting paranoid that someone was going to try and kill him. Plus his health was starting to fail between his leg injury and severe gout that he had from his diet. Between not feeling well and his paranoia, he ordered numerous executions and imprisonments. To the extent that the Tower of London was packed with the people he ordered detained.

3. He Knew A Lot About Medicine
With a sharp mind, King Henry VIII learned about many different subjects, including medicine. After a while, he refused to see physicians unless necessary, because he felt he knew enough about medicine to self-medicate and diagnose himself. Plus physicians during that time had some questionable practices!

2. He's Still A Mystery To Historians
One of the biggest mysteries about King Henry VIII is his big personality shift during the later years of his life and reign. He became evil, tyrannical, and had many people executed and tortured, whether they deserved it or not. But despite some evidence pointing to certain reasons why, no one really knows why the shift happened.

1. He May Have Written Greensleeves
On a happier note, King Henry VIII had a lot of hobbies, and one of them was music. He was a well known composer, and has been documented as having written songs such as "Helas Madame" and "Pastimes with Good Company." But, what might be even more shocking is that he may have been the composer behind the popular song Greensleeves.
