Jeff Bezos' superyacht is so big it needs its own yacht

Today in ultra-billionaire news, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos has purchased a modest 100-foot schooner as he looks forward to a quieter life and hours of reflection on the open seas ... LOL, just kidding.

The world's richest man is reportedly buying a boat, though that word feels inappropriately sensible for the monstrosity going to Captain Bezos: a 417-foot superyacht that's so massive it has its own "support yacht" with a helipad, according to Bloomberg. The estimated cost, not including the boat's support boat, is $500 million.
The luxury yacht's Dutch manufacturer, Oceanco, hasn't released many details about the vessel, called Project 721. The company didn't immediately respond to requests for comment.
 
Good for him that he has so much fn money that he can blow a half-billion on a useless chunk of fiberglass.

If it was me, I'd spend that financial overflow on upgrading schools...... :noidea:

Just a different mentality. If I had a choice between spending some extra money on a boat for myself or using it to replace the 70-year-old HVAC system in an elementary school, I'm going with the elementary school whether we're talking $500 or $500,000,000.

...the problem is that he's deep into the trap of materialism. Impossible to stop now. He's enslaved to "things" and once you go there, you can't just stop.
 
Let’s put this in perspective.

For nice round numbers, we’ll say @HammerDown ’s net worth is $5,000,000*

when Hammer puts on a coat he hadn’t worn in a while and finds a $100 bill, that’s the same to him as Bezos putting on a coat and finding a 3.78 million dollar bill.











* I rounded up to the nearest 5 million

why is it his responsibility to install HVAC in elementary schools?
