He may as well spend his money now.

Sometimes, it seems to be the more they are afraid of death the more they desire to spend in this lifetime.
Looks garish to me- tacky looking. Gimmicky. Now, had the walls been glass aquariums, with sharks with frickin layers on their heads swimming inches from the people walking through!
“Would have made more sense if it was only on one side. This way it only induces claustrophobia”
What would you do to the other side to reduce claustrophobia?

Some craftsmen got a paying gig, so that’s a plus.
Fifty years ago he was sleeping on a sand dune with his camel.
” Now, had the walls been glass aquariums, with sharks with frickin layers on their heads swimming inches from the people walking through!”
That is one of the available videos.
Real sharks would be more Impressive/mindblowing
His yatch looks like it is quite a bit larger than the one down below which says it’s the largest us yatch, but I can’t find dimensions on the Saudi yatch to compare, bit it just looks larger in the photos

Guessing your ex-wife took it in the divorce.
“Fifty years ago he was sleeping on a sand dune with his camel.”

Methinks a full battalion of craftsmen or more.
With a company of techs and a platoon of cooks to feed them.
Someone ran with that and actually made a game based on “sharks with frickin’ lasers on their heads”. I have a copy on my shelf.

Layers?
Layered Tres Leches Cake?
Seven Layer Dip?
I suspect the water would wash those off...
