Olivier Janssens Offers Nevis Residents $100 a Month

Belgian-born crypto millionaire Olivier Janssens offered to pay Nevis residents $100 per month if the government approves his plans for a tech-friendly libertarian community on the Caribbean island. Destiny, a project aiming to buy and restructure about 2,400 acres, said it will begin paying residents $100 per month "immediately once the final agreement with the government is approved," a rise from the initial 30 East Caribbean dollars (US$11) announced in November 2025.

Opponents criticised the offer as an attempt to influence public opinion and government approval. Kelvin Daly of the Nevis Reformation Party wrote on Facebook, "Janssens and De Primer have upped their bribe from US$30/month to US$100/month," and urged authorities to investigate the initiative for breaches under the Anti-Corruption Act.

Destiny is seeking approval under St. Kitts and Nevis’ Special Sustainability Zones framework, a legal regime passed in 2025.
