Eleven years after acquiring a private island off Florida’s west coast for $14.5 million, entrepreneur Mark Pentecost is now asking $89 million for the 104-acre property. The estate, once known as Little Bokeelia Island, has undergone significant upgrades, including a nine-hole golf course, improved infrastructure, and 29 developable residential lots.
Mark Pentecost, a former teacher and basketball coach, made his fortune through the multi-level marketing company It Works!, which allowed him to purchase the island in 2015. The island, located in Pine Island Sound between Sarasota and Naples, has historical roots dating back to the early 20th century. Notable guests during its past ownership included inventor Thomas Edison.
The estate features a restored 1920s main mansion, four guest cottages, a clubhouse, a caretaker's home, and various recreational facilities. With an asking price of $89 million, the property is now among the most expensive private island listings in the United States.
