African dictator's son orders luxury superyacht ($380 million yacht)

I would suspect all of it is stolen foreign aid money.

I hear the weather off the coast of Somalia is lovely this time of year.

[Soothesayer]

It’s just a little self-treat after all that hard-work of brutalizing those ungrateful plebs.

No different than a Lexus in a section 8 housing project, same mentality.

"The statement from Global Witness said that German company Kusch Yachts has been asked to build the yacht"

Note to Kusch Yachts: Get a large upfront payment...

Gee...my dad gave me $50 for my 21st birthday (1966) and I thought I was rich.

Why not.. if the folks are happy eating bugs and scrounging out a living hoeing yams..
A new Yacht might make him happy..

Before he came to power Yams were probably pretty expensive..
they might make good democrats..

Craploads of cash needs to evacuate the continent.

A yacht that costs as much as a small city is an expedient method to accommodate such a goal. Build me a boat that can move anywhere at any time, make sure it can also hold a hundred tons of bullion... make it fast...

It is indeed a shame that even the descendants of third world savages no longer trust dumping the cash into the politically connected US banking operations or historically metastasized Swiss EU operations today.

Then again, they just look at our president and know where things will end up for them, here.... And being a nonwhite trusting the Swiss banking system with billions looted.? Sure.

If Hollywood were to make this into a movie the Prince would be benevolent caring and bestowing only goodness on his subjects. Hell he might even come to America, take a job at McDonald’s, and find a nice common women to settle down with. I would suggest they get Eddie Murphy to play the prince this would be sure fire hit.

With all the unrest around the globe, he’s got to have some way to escape. May as well go in style!

I think I first heard about this guy years ago in a joke titled “Shortest books ever printed”...

"With a schedule as hectic as President Obama's it must be hard to stick to a training regimen without help -- but why does he insist on having his old trainer fly out from Chicago to D.C. regularly when Obama and his wife exhort the rest of us to drive less? And in a recession? According to Ashley Parker at the New York Times, Obama's fitness czar Cornell McClellan comes out to D.C. every week:"

Could it be?-Nah!

[DUMBGRUNT]

owns seven Ferraris, five Bentleys, four Rolls-Royces, two Lamborghinis, two Mercedes-Benzes, two Porsches, two Maybachs, and an Aston Martin, which he somehow affords on his $5,000 a month official salary. He has since tired of those jalopies and now favors a blue Bugatti Veyron.

Bugatti Veyron motor car. There are 35 of them in existence. They cost one million euros each. Three of them are owned by a guy called Teodoro Obiang, the Minister of Forests of Equatorial Guinea.”
