Super Yacht

[Peter Ward]

During a recent stay at the Four seasons, Sydney, I photographed this little 'tinnie sailing under the Bridge.....

(Microsoft Billionaire Paul's Allen's boat, Octopus)

I suspect, it had a pretty good spot for the NYE fireworks!

That's huge!! The cost of crewing, provisioning, and maintaining that ship a week would be huge.
Nice looking though.

I remember reading a few years ago that it cost him $200 million and it costs about $20 million per year to keep it.

[multiweb (Marc)]

That's insane.

Amazing how much money you can make from bugs :-)

And he wouldn't have sailed in on the yacht from the USA - they usually have the crew reposition the boat and then fly in and stay on the yacht in port!
