Much like Amazon, Jeff Bezos’ $500 million superyacht offers every bell and whistle imaginable, from A to Z.
The colossal, triple-masted Koru began its career serving the world’s third richest man this week, cruising the Mediterranean around Mallorca.The 417-foot schooner first left Rotterdam in the Netherlands for sea trials in February. Dropping anchor in Mallorca put its jaw-dropping size on full display.
It also showed the extent of Bezos’ fleet: Not only did the Koru sail into harbor, so did its support vessel, Abeona, a mega-boat in its own right, the luxurious fast-launches used to move between the two — and aerial support in the form of his girlfriend Lauren Sanchez’s personal helicopter.

In fact, make Mr. Bezos do that! Have the red state governors send every single illegal alien to his private yacht!
Meanwhile, his eco-yacht requires a 246' support vessel with 46 staff - powered, most likely, by diesel/bunker fuel.
More symbolic green hypocrisy from our global elites.
Yes, I am not sure what Bezos likes in her.
“It appears that Blue Origin is much like the Washington Post, another toy for Bezos to play with.”
At the taxpayers’ expense no less.
Does the name Shawn Ryan ring a bell? He does a podcast called the Shawn Ryan Show. He’s a former SEAL and actually does a great job talking and interviewing his guests, ie...he asks a question and lets them talk. Little if any interruptions. Videos are available on youtube.
Anywho....he had on Robby Starbuck. Ran for a House seat somewhere around Nashville. Tenn GOP lined up against him and changed a law so he and some woman couldn’t run. They said he was a liberal in disguise, carpet-bagger type from California. Don’t know. Whatever.
However, he brings up Bezos and Amazon and talks about how it was able to become what it is today. At the end of his talk of Bezos, he spells out how Bezos and Amazon violated federal laws and Amazon should have been taken down, for all the damage it has done to small businesses, etc. I’m not an MBA or anything else and I’m sure there is probably more than one person on here that can decipher what he says and if it make sense.
Robby Starbuck - Congressional Candidate https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hp-wE2FrxvA go to the 33min mark..
Glad he gets to waste and pollute while he lectures everyone else.
His former wife helped him start up Amazon and get rich; then she gets tossed aside. Often a typical scenario — even stories like a woman working to get her husband through medical school, and then he dumps her. Sad for such ladies, but at least in MacKenzie’s case, she was not left in poverty.
Bezos is a MAJOR dweeb who, no doubt was duct taped to his locker one too many times......these types all end up like this.....lots of money, big boats and Silicon Sallys to fulfill those never accepted prom dates.......
That is a vulgar extravaganza...
...he should be embarrassed.
This has zero to do with free markets, giving people credit for entrepreneurship, and employing people. This is about the absolute necessity to ensure fair business practices, ensure level fields of competition, and prevention of monopolies. If you think that capitalism is the best economic system ever devised by humanity, which I do, you will appreciate how essential it is to prevent abuse of that system and thus hand opportunities to its critics. Capitalism is about ‘winning’/achieving with honesty, hard work, and integrity. When it becomes ‘win doing whatever it takes’, it becomes unsustainable and indefensible.
(I dated Lauren Sanchez’s cousin before I dumped her for my wife - extent of my connection to Bezos).
Musk: YAY he’s on our side because he says nice things about Trump.
Personally, I have nothing against either of them but do envy Jeff’s new boat.
>Repulsive plastic woman and a home wrecker. Those boobs look like overfilled balloons.<
And she’s got a pound of silicone in her cartoon-like lips.
Did you get blackmailed?
Arthur “Two Sheds” Jackson could not be reached for comment.
If I had his fortune, and wound up divorced, I would have something much hotter in my mega yacht.
I completely disagree. Bezos gave up a reasonably successful career to join Amazon way back when the internet was young & untested, it was not clear at that point how anyone could ever make money from the internet.
Then he made all the right moves. As far as "fair business practices" has anyone ever forced you to buy something from Amazon? I didn't thing so. No one ever held a gun to my head and said: "Buy only from Amazon" either. 20 years ago DW and I retired and moved to a much lower cost of living area, and Amazon was a big factor in that. We could see that we did not need big city downsides to enjoy the cornucopia of goods available in big cities. Saved us a bundle and our lifestyle has been improved immensely.
If Amazon had attracted competition when it was small, no one would be complaining. But it got big. I still use it for most of our on-line purchases. It may not be the cheapest available, but I have confidence that I am going to get what I order and I can return it if is not as advertised.
If Jeff Bezos getting more money than anyone should ever have is the result of the convenience and value Amazon provides, so be it. Smaller local stores are going to go out of business. This is the way of the world. Cars put farriers out of business too. It was not the end of the world.
And, competition is starting to arise. Walmart, BestBuy, Costco, Home Depot and Lowes all sell online now. We have choices. Plus if I need an obscure part for a rare machine, I can find it from an even more obscure company on the internet. Capitalism wins again.
She tried to baby trap me (seriously) but I have quite the control.
Even from the pixelated photos at the article you can see her inflated lips and big fake bosums and she is gaining weight in her thighs.
