European Union leaders are scrambling for a solution to migrant crisis. On Friday the head of the United Nations refugee agency said EU countries must work together to accept 200,000 refugees.
One Egyptian billionaire, telecom mogul Naguib Sawiris, has a kind of out-of-the-box solution to the crisis: buy a private island for the refugees to call home.
Sawiris tweeted, "Greece or Italy sell me an island, I'll call its independence and host the migrants and provide jobs for them building their new country."
He followed that up with a tweet saying, "Crazy idea .. Maybe but at least temporary until they can return to their countries ??!!"
It seems a little farfetched, especially considering Mediterranean islands go for millions of dollars.
But he's not the first wealthy person to propose this plan. San Francisco real estate tycoon Jason Buzi also proposed giving refugees their own country.
Until those dreams become reality, British Prime Minister David Cameron promised the U.K. will accept thousands more refugees directly from refugee camps. He didn't, however, go into specifics.
