Yes but it's plastic and owned by a multinational corporation, so you can only rent it and the cost is prohibitive. Also, you're not allowed to have sex on it and if you injure yourself on it you will be bankrupted by the medical bills.

Yes there is a business owner visa of you invest $1 million or thereabouts and employ 4 US workers.

Save up $1 million, hire a techy, admin, assistant and a photographer

Or I can enter the Green Card Lottery!

Can money drop the barriers somewhat?

If, for example, you won the euromillions and wanted to live there, can they assess your personal fortune, even if you have no intention of working?

Surely a multi millionaire is beneficial to the country.

you'd be able to stay but not work, not that you'd need to work. you could set a business up, i would.

Is that different to the EB-5 Visa? As that seems to be £1m plus creating/preserving 10 US worker jobs or £500k+ in a disadvantaged area.

If you've got a lot of money then it's probably a fairly attractive option.
