I hope the local preservations sue the crap out of the place just to run up Bezos’ bill.

During renovations of the bridge in 2017, the city council promised residents the bridge would never again be dismantled. But when you have Bezos money, never is not all that long

Never = 5 years

Not even the Nazi’s could take down the bridge. But leave it up to Bezos.

Bezos must have bought more than a few Dutch politicians. Guess it’s time for him to call in some markers.

The King’s Coin.

“Life is hard. But they’ll get through it.”

Think of all the workers this will employ.

Not to mention payoffs to local officials.

Unstep the masts, rig after you cross under the bridge? Or is this boat such a wonder that they skipped basic sailing yacht design criteria and contruction?

I guess the Leroy Jethro Gibbs approach for getting the boat out wouldn't work in this case.

The reason billionaires buy these yachts is to do things without laws. They go just a little farther out than any countries laws. And thats where the rules don’t exist. Of course you can get killed out there as well. But nobody has one of these yachts and does not have a sex fantasy that is against the law in most places.

Like someone said in the movie, “Wall Street”, how many yachts do you need to ski behind? Could be a different movie.

$535 to build the yacht, 5 million to do the bridge.

It is a lift bridge. The center section raises and lowers on two towere; just not enough. Not a big deal to remove/replace the section. Not even a nice looking bridge.
