ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Company) offers a report titled “When David Glasheen lost everything, moving to a remote island saved him.”
“In his earlier life he lived in Sydney where he built a multi-million-dollar mining company. But he lost most of his family’s wealth, around $37 million today, in the stock market crash of 1987. Shortly after, his marriage broke down. He was ‘wounded, seriously wounded’.
“He arrived on Restoration Island after hearing about it through a friend — and never left.”
