One aspect of this has not received any coverage is that after the Aga Khan purchased Bell Island he donated $1,000,000 to the trust managing the park in which the island is located and was given a permit to conduct extensive dregging to build a marina so his 150 foot yacht could tie up.  According to local enviromentalists this was damaging to the sensitive eco system the park protects.  It would appear the Aga Khan does not hesitate to give generously to get what he wants and does not care what impact his actions might have on the environment or his neighbors.
