Why was the budget for the movie 'Cast Away' so expensive?

The 2000 film 'Cast Away starring Tom Hanks directed my Bob Zemeckis cost 90million dollars!? WTF how is that possible. I mean most of the film is set on a fiji island which okay, probably costs quite a bit but only maybe a couple of million at most! There wasn't a very big cast, there was a lot of product placement And i doubt Tom Hanks charged 40 million? Also, Tom Hanks had to gain 50 pounds and then lose it so production was put on hold for a year, but 90m i mean come on! Forrest Gump 50 million but that's understandable seeing as how it's set in many many different locations. Can someone explain?
