It has transform to the paradise for those in search of a place where they can invest freely without the hassle from major competition and the flexible investment restrictions placed by the local government.

Leonardo Dicaprio has now joined the list of famous foreigners to buy a piece of prime land in Belize. He bought Blackadore Caye in 2005; which is located northwest of San Pedro Town between the southern Corozal District and Ambergris Caye. Blackadore has an area of 104 acres and is 2.2 miles long. Reports by the local press in Belize are that Di Caprio has paid US$1.75 million for the small island.

Di Caprio has recently announced that he will open an upscale eco-resort in Belize. He recently struck a deal with the Four Seasons Group to create what’s called a green resort. Groundbreaking is reportedly set for 2008.

The list of other foreigners that own prime land and important business in that country are Lord Michael Ashcroft and the famous film producer Francis Copola.
