Bill Gates has reportedly ordered himself a gigantic yacht.
According to the The New York Post, the Telegraph reported that Gates had ordered the $644 million Aqua yacht from the Dutch design firm Sinot. However, Sinot told the New York Post no deal has been done just yet. Still, if something is in the works, the yacht sounds absurd.
Whether or not Gates ever takes control of Aqua, it’s such a power move to even consider spending $644 million on a boat.
I’ve always been obsessed with yachts. I’m not even sure why, but I just think they’re awesome. A yacht isn’t just a status symbol.
It’s a lifestyle choice. When you’re living on a yacht, you’re essentially telling the world you’re living a carefree lifestyle.

Bigger than the first ship I was stationed on. And we had two fuel oil boilers.
And the needed infrastructure for all that hydrogen?...
he has F U money
Solar. That is actually possible. But it would have to be some large panels.
Hydrogen is wonderful until it gasifies. Ala Hindenburg.
That's right!
There is some really slick technology that
converts diesel directly into electricity but
I highly doubt it's very efficient.

This is the same guy that has been complaining that Americans make too much money and has done everything in his power to under cut US IT workers importing H-1B wage slaves. I hope he rots in hell one day.
Unless it’s a bass boat... {:-)
The image of it is really cool. I don’t get the jealousy here. Sounds like liberal sour grapes. Lots of workers make good money building such things, and what’s wrong with a yacht factory building a really big one every once in a while? They wouldn’t exist except to serve royalty or dictators if not for capitalism.
The bigger the better.
Yeah, that’s the odd thing. Rich people get dissed for sitting on all their money.
And they get dissed for spending it too.
That’s because to the class envy crew their real crime is making it.
It’s coronavirus.
The big boys are telling you it’s going to be much safer at sea.
The German Zeppelin Hindenburg was filled with hydrogen gas. Just sayin’
yup
I believe the term you seek is fugly
So was the external tank that Challenger was mounted to except liquid. With some LO2 for good measure.
I always wanted a pontoon boat myself.
A 2 decker.

DEFINITION OF A BOAT/YACHT...
AN OBJECT THAT MAKES A HOLE IN THE WATER INTO WHICH YOU POUR LOTS OF MONEY! BEEN THERE, DONE THAT!
If I had his Money I would own a Nuclear Submarine.
Preferably one that looked like the Seaview.
Heck, I want a Nautilus Submarine like the one in Disney’s 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea Movie. That is still the coolest Submarine EVA!
Cooler than the Seaview for sure. (well, if it included the Flying Sub it would be a tie)
