The residences, which range in size from 237 to 1,970 square feet, are on sale now — and they aren't cheap. Storylines says the residences cost between $1 million and $8 million, with ownership lasting for the "lifetime of the vessel," which the company estimates as roughly 60 years.

Re: "with $1.9 billion"

At least one billionaire has bought a former cruise line ship that is still sea worthy but was scheduled for the scrap yard.

He is going to luxury refurb the top two decks, replace the engines, electrical system, and plumbing system, and then decommission the rest of the ship.

For just a couple hundred million dollars, he will have the largest and most luxurious super yacht in the entire world!

Sustainable? If drills for its own oil? Grows its own food? Raises its own cattle and chickens?

Wait until they stop maintaining it.

Robert Plant will probably not buy in, even though he has the money:

Approx $3000 a year for the 24 year lease... not that bad, $500 a month not bad.. my property taxes alone are near that.

However, what I see suspiciously missing are the maintenance and ongoing fees they plan to charge, because, color me skeptical, I doubt highly their business model is a 1 time up front fee, and they will put all that cash into some sort of fund to pay for the care and feeding of the beast for 24 years... but will like condos have a monthly fee that will continue to go up over time and probably and inept bunch of Karen’s running the board frittering the cash away on nonsense etc.

I really, really, really see a whole crapload of potential issues with this model that are likely going to come back and bite folks on the but... but maybe that’s just the cynic in me.
