Mel Gibson buys Pacific island.

December 10, 2004

Australian actor Mel Gibson, flush from the huge success of his religious film The Passion of Christ, has splashed out $US15 million on a private Pacific island, a report said.

Gibson flew to Fiji earlier this month where he bought the 2,160 hectare island of Mago from a Japanese hotel chain, People magazine reported.

"He wants to keep it as an exclusive getaway for his friends and family," the magazine quoted a local source as saying.

Gibson plans to turn the Pacific paradise, that is home to 40 residents, mostly coconut farmers and their families, into his own personal retreat, the US magazine said.

The South Pacific island boasts two lagoons and stunning white-sand beaches, it said.

Gibson's spokesman could not be reached for comment.
