Robert De Niro
Actor Robert De Niro has his sight set on rebuilding the island of Barbuda after it was destroyed by Hurricane Irma.
The island suffered 95 per cent damage, leaving it uninhabitable with no power, water or cell service.
All the island's residents - fewer than 2,000 - were forced to evacuate.
De Niro, who first visited Barbuda decades ago, said he plans to develop a $200 million resort through Nobu, the hospitality company he co-founded.
The location for his new resort was to be at the site of the former Club K, the posh hideaway that once frequently hosted Princess Diana before it closed down 12 years ago.
The goal is to draw more tourists to the secluded island and provide jobs to the local islanders.
