Johnny Depp has one. Richard Branson has one. Celine Dion has one. Tyler Perry has one. And now Winnifred the bear is also the proud owner of a private island.

The bear cub reportedly paid $3.7 million for a four acre island in Puget Sound, capping off a lavish spending spree after striking it rich with a Mega Millions ticket late last year.

“She plans on using it as a retreat for herself and her friends,” said real estate agent Vivian Harden.  ”You know, to get away from the hustle and bustle of zoo life.”
