AMAZON customers own a (teensy-tiny) piece of this>
.
. Wonder if he actually bought this on AMAZON??? ...not faulting the guy for being rich - he built his companies from the ground up. Jeff Bezos buys $500M superyacht amid luxury industry boom Jeff Bezos will soon be the owner of a $500 million superyacht he purchased two years ago, and whose construction is nearing completion, according to Bloomberg. The yacht will be 417 feet long, include several decks, and will also come with its own “support” yacht, complete with helipad. In other words, this yacht—among the largest ever built in the Netherlands—comes with its own yacht.

Yachts
I've always wondered why the extremely wealthy buy these monster yachts. Tiger, Shak, Bezos, et al. all have one. Over 70 feet long, they need a licensed captain and crew. The super wealthy are super busy and have minimal free days for cruising.
Is it a good investment? A tax loophole of some kind? A revenue stream through leasing the craft for charters? Ego? Or they've got so much money they don't know what to spend it on. I want to know so when I win Powerball, I can act accordingly. |

I told him that I would give him a good deal on my 94 meter, but he said he wanted a new, larger one.

There was some crazy statistic that you take 10% of the initial cost of the vessel and that is what the estimate yearly cost will be so it’s just not 500 million it’s another 50 million annually in costs…must be fun.

I applaud anyone who puts their money on the line for a business. Most of us in life are worker bees and don't understand the extreme risk and hard work of a capitalist society. Buying a half billion dollar yacht his pocket change to this guy.

Re: powerball I do not buy lottery tickets. You have a greater chance of being struck by lightening than winning the lottery. Hum, in Florida, lightening capital of the world or is it the US the odds are better. I do know or knew someone whose son-in law won a 14 million dollar lottery. There were 7 people in a pool. So we figure 2 million each. NOPE, I recall al details, it was a long time ago BUT, seven people they wanted immediate payout. The 14 million that they sell you on says 30 year payout. They tax the TAXES, before you get the money. People never tell you the truth when is comes to money but I was told his son-in- law cleared around 350,000. If, you do win, I would not tell anyone. Typically, what happens when people read you have won millions, you get contacted by relatives, friends, charities etc. Don't you remember I sat behind you in kindergarten. I was just thinking about you. COULD YOU LEND ME I MEAN GIVE ME $$$$$$$$ |
