Connection Peter Munk.

 

He created his first company, Dansk Design, an importer of Scandinavian furniture and giftware.[1][2] He then founded TrizecHahn, a real estate firm.

 

In 1958, he co-founded Clairtone, a stereo maker, with Peter Munk.

 

They then bought property in Fiji and started the hotel chain called the Southern Pacific Hotel Corporation.[1][3] Less than a decade later, they sold it for $128 million. They then bought a $40 million gold mine in Northern Ontario, and co-founded Barrick Gold.[1][3] He also bought Zinio, now one of the world's largest electronic distributors of magazines, books, catalogs and apps.

He later bought Wakaya Island in Fiji. In 1996, he co-founded Fiji Water with Peter Munk, after he found an aquifer in Yaqara Valley on Viti Levu. It became the No. 1 brand of imported water, even before Evian.

 

In 2004, he sold it to Lynda Resnick for US$50 million.

Kelley, Robert Zemeckis, Paris Hilton, and Tom Cruise have all stayed in the resort.
