Quoted: With his money he should have a haram of at least 12 in groups of four so their periods can't synch. If that takes another boat, so be it. View Quote He did build another boat. Apparently this one can't land helicopters, so he had a support ship built. The largest support ship in the world it was claimed. |

IF I had his money I would buy a decommissioned US Navy gator freighter. Paint it to look civilian, mount a shot load of crew served weapons on it and hire a ton of super hot gals. We'd go to pirate hotspots and drag a big bag of wallets or whatever it is pirates want. As soon as they came towards us out come the crew served weapons with endless ammo while the hot chicks serve my friends cocktails. In short, we'd drive around getting hammered with hot women killing pirates.

And, the sails will most likely be used pretty rarely. Bezos calls up the yacht captain and says "meet me in San Diego... I want to make a run down to Mexico for the weekend"...... The captain's not going to be rousting the crew out of their hammocks to go unfurl the sails... he's gonna fire up the engines and haul ass to go pick up his owner. |

Quoted: I’d wager armed security rides along. View Quote 100% I have been a tech exec for 22 yrs and every big company CEO I know has big time security because they are definite targets for crazies and kidnapping. Hell, I even have to have security in Africa, South America, Asia, Eastern Europe. I hate it but the board insists. I prefer low key and avoiding news coverage. |

The Executive Chairman of Amazon commissioned for the boat - called Koru - to be built in 2018 and the brand-new superyacht was constructed for a whopping $500 million. Previously known as Y721 or Project 721, the yacht now goes by the name of Koru which means 'new beginnings' in Maori. The vessel is 127 meters in length - with triple masts that reach 70 meters - making the sailing yacht nearly half the size of the Great Pyramid of Giza. And with a big price tag comes a big upkeep cost. Reportedly this will cost around $25 million annually. It was modeled on with three enormous masts so it can be powered largely by kinetic energy from the sails. What this extremely advanced and green technology means is that the sails can be managed by a single person rather than an entire crew.

Just don't marry anything. Second, a submarine would be awesome as a TEOTWAWKI plan. The boat he built is such a flex cruising around the world. What a life. |

Be a shame if it ran into a lost China shipping container and sunk.

Half a billion and it's powered by wind? If I was spending half a billion for wind-powered ships, I'd be sailing around in a galleon surrounded by my armada of proper 18th century battleships

At least he's a less hypocritical cunt for using wind power. Bill Gates wants me to eat crickets while he jet sets, has shitloads of server farms, and has a huge diesel yacht.

Beautiful boat but no place to land a helo so I will pass.
She must be great at the sex because she is certainly not a looker. |

Not very good looking for that kind of cheddar. But I'm not much of a boat guy.

I bet he's not even going to make his crew sing sea shanties. What a waste of a sailing ship

Once the numbers get big it is astounding how cheap something like a $500-million yacht really is for someone like Bezos.
He is worth about $130-billion right now. Meaning this yacht cost him 0.38% of his net worth. Scale that down to someone worth $100k, and it's the equivalent of that person spending $380 on a kayak. |

I thought this was a dr fakie thread, I am sure he has a mega yatch as well

Megayachts are a dime a dozen in the Med, and they've taken on a cookie-cutter look that reminds me of modern supercars. Bezos boat is an amazing retro-homage...it's beautiful under full sail, even if it's packed to the gunwales with technology.
Nobody in their right mind believes it runs under a single crew member, but just that fact that it could is the point. We have an oil exec in the neighborhood, his family vacations here with 24/7 hour armed security, in N Idaho. I'd bet Bezos support boat has the best money can buy, and plenty of them. |

Maybe I missed it but it looks like the article only says the sails can be run by 1 person instead of a whole crew. Not that the entire ship can be run by a single person.

Somehow I don't think that boat's construction was Climate Pledge Friendly(TM).

Looks aren't everything but you'd think someone with that level of money would have a much better looking girlfriend

$25 million dollars a year to maintain it? What do they do, rebuild the whole engine, and paint the thing in gold?
So let me get this strait. I'm supposed to "own nothing," rent everything, be crammed into a cubile in a city against my will, and have gay shit shoved into my face every single day, and "be happy." And this asshole is going to be sailing around on that thing? No. Sorry. I'm looking forward to sharing the wealth and taking my share of The People's ship that Jeff happened to have built. Let the retribution, I mean, redistribution, begin!!! |
