Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are reportedly buying a house in Dubai.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have reportedly bought their own private island within Dubai's "The World" exclusive off shore development.

Dubai-based celebrity and society web site Ahlanlive (www.ahlanlive.com) reported today that the film stars have bought an island with a view to turning it into a showpiece for environmental issues with the hope that it will encourage people to live a "greener life," the web site said.

Master developer Nakheel does not comment on who has bought islands within The World without the permission of the owners.

The World is a cluster of 300 islands that collectively form a map of the world's continents and countries.

Ahlanlive did not state which island was bought by the Hollywood stars. Illustrious neighbours will eventually include Sir Richard Branson, and Rod Stewart.

Celebrities are a key target market for Nakheel as they try to sell the islands. Owners are assured perfect privacy as the plots are only accessible by boat. They can also be developed to their own personal requirements.

Brad Pitt, his father and brother have been "green developers" for many years. The communities they have built in The Ozark Mountains of SW Missouri are very beautiful. I have had the pleasure of touring the Springfield developments. They have applied site force evaluations which allow for large building sites with wooded green belts between the homes. The Stylish house are constructed from high quality eco-friendly materials creating very energy efficent structures that are low maintenance. Brad Pitt and his family will bring excitment and star power possiblities for Green Develoments in Dubai.
