Crypto millionaire’s Nevis project offers residents $100 a month: FT

Olivier Janssens’ Destiny project offered Nevis residents $100 a month if the government approves the development, triggering sharp local criticism, the Financial Times reported.

Belgian-born crypto millionaire, Olivier Janssens, reportedly offered to pay Nevis residents $100 per month if the government approves his development plans for a tech-friendly libertarian community on the Caribbean island.

Jannsens’ Destiny, a project aiming to buy and restructure about 2,400 acres of land on the Caribbean island, said it will begin paying residents $100 per month, “immediately once the final agreement with the government is approved,” according to an email seen by the Financial Times. 

The monthly $100 figure is an increase from the initial 30 East Caribbean dollars (US$11) announced by the project in November 2025.
