Richard Branson has gifted the use of his private Necker Island to Kate Moss for his 40th birthday bash - a luxury which would normally be costing 280,000 pounds.

The 39-year-old model is said to have been flown over to the Caribbean island with hubby Jamie Hince, ahead of her fortieth birthday on Thursday, the Daily Express reported.

According to the Sunday Mirror, close pals Sadie Frost, James Brown, Fran Cutler and Annabelle Nielson would also be joining the couple in the idyllic island.

A source said that Moss didn't want bother of London and the drama and paparazzi that came along with it, so she decided to celebrate her birthday in private.

Sir Richard had bought the island in the British Virgin Islands for 189,000 pounds in 1979.
