Listed article: https://archive.fo/CI3LL

"Water Island is a 500-acre spit of land in the U.S. Virgin Islands. The Department of Defense purchased the island from a Danish company during World War II, using it to protect a submarine base on nearby St. Thomas. Since then, it has become an under-the-radar tropical getaway dotted with several-dozen homes, where the largest beachfront estates can fetch north of a million dollars."

"In May 2005, James Biden and his wife, Sara, purchased a one-acre plot of land in the middle of the island, according to property records. Tax records describe the view from the property as “excellent.” The price: $150,000."

How do you get a deal like that? $150,000 is a steal for an chunk of island property with a sub base. People would kill for a deal like that.

This meme is Not accurate. It states Biden sold a "500 acre property". As far as I can tell, they sold a 1 acre property. The whole Island is 500acres.

We agree, hence my quoting of the article. The meme needs to be corrected.

But also note that it's called Water Island and was a DoD Island.
