It was free courtesy of the CIA

>>58124529
op's mom was free courtesy of the cia they did some really dirty research on her that night $spurdo erc is the only thing that can fund the $500 million needed to remove op's mom's flabby loose fat rolls she's a walking billboard for fupas everywhere and $spurdo erc is the only thing that can help her with plastic surgery or whatever people use to get rid of their flabs (don't ask me i'm too busy chilling in my mansion with my 16ft penis)

>>58124493
it looks quite small
I have no clue
But I dont think it should cost that much

500M is unironically considered a poorfag yacht

>>58124493
>only 36 crew
lol yacht, more like dinghy

>>58124564
bullshit
it rather seems overpriced

>>58124493
I'd buy that if it had a submarine attached to the bottom incase for disaster proof

>>58124529
?
How does the CIA benefit from a rich businessman having a yacht?

>>58124688
because they bribed him with it dummy.

>>58124493
every yacht is a reflection of her owner
roided manlet diesel powered boat larping as chad sailing yacht, pathetic

i thought the sails were kind of goofy at first, but it can cost like 500k to fully refuel it

>>58124493
What an ugly yacht. Motorsailers have such unappealing lines.

>>58124493
Not seeing many lifeboats.

>>58124834
yeah
why not go for something really cool, if you have unlimited funds
500 million truly wasted

>>58124649
the money is in the custom sail system.
i bet that thing can handle crazy conditions too.

its "over priced" the same way a rolex is.
But others are right in saying its a "poorfag yacht" because its small.
Google most expensive yachts

Bezos simply doesn't care what anyone thinks because everyone is aware hes not a poorfag.
this is simply exactly what he wanted.

>>58124763
>>58124529
Dumb question but how do agencies pay off assets without it coming up on their tax returns or anyone noticing. I'm sure it happens but how do they go about it. If I was rich I'd think about it

>>58124919
Kek, why not go all the way, buy an island and start your own pirate nation.
In seriousness though, the swan 120 is the Yachtsman's choice, fork over a few extra bucks for the long bowsprit when you need to haul ass.

>>58124493
weird how they have all this normie features but they've thrown in 'in-boom furler' like anyone who's not into sailing will really appreciate that one kek
>oh look, darling, we can drink champagne in the hot tub whilst the captain puts another reef in, if it's getting a little windy

>>58124649
It only seems overpriced because they didn't document the concealed phalanx ICWS and SSTD systems.

splitting between a number of large orders of spare parts, equipment and consumables or services carried out by "contractors" which are shell companies with limited trace. there different type of companies one can register and some require less paper work then the others

Kek pic related.

>>58125344
Shit wrong pic and it takes to long to delete a post on this shit website.

>>58125160
kek.

>>58124493
Its a cool boat but no way I'd pay $500,000,000 for it. I could purchase Haiti for that amount and have a private army go in a secure it.

>mr bezos… you either take this yacht we confiscated from a drug lord and give us all the data of your user base, or we plant child porn in your computer and lose everything you have.

>>58125344
checked and i preferred the jimmy carter quote. why the fuck did you have that saved ?

>>58124669
the last time a billionaire stepped into a submarine it didn’t end well. Bezos would want something that floats.

>>58125001
The hammer that’s billed at $12 actually costs $2 and the seller is given $4 and told not to ask questions about where the other $8 go. Otherwise, best case, you lose the government contract. Worst case, yeah CP planted on your laptop and you get killed in prison

>>58125454
Pretty much this. When Caesar calls, you answer.

>>58124974
How could the money possibly be in the sails when they're usually made by local companies and are basically wear items? I think you need to replace the sails on even a regular ~$200k keelboat every few years. Obviously this would have Kevlar or maybe carbon sails, but the price wouldn't go anywhere near $500m.
I think most of the money comes from the gaudy decorations, like the figurehead of that hideously ugly mutt.

>>58125001
this kills the crab

>>58124493
Imagine paying 500m for something that has to be serviced by 36 people. Feels maximum uncomfy.

>>58124493
needs nore hot tubs
32 staff would make me self-conscious when they all got nothing better to do than watch you chase some bogged goblina around the decks, from hot tub to hot tub

I saw this ship when it was moored in the US Virgin Islands, kind of neat. didn't see bezos though

>>58125501
It wasn’t a submarine it was a submersible

>>58124564
Troll harder, faggot

It's not a navy vessel. It would be gay if it doesn't have some sort of based weapons or hi-tech laser cannons on board to blow nigger pirates up into smithereens.

>>58125797
when i was in the virgin islands I saw a superyacht named Infinity, and my mom googled it and said "hmm it's owned by some guy named Eric Schmidt" and I got kinda excited that the chainlink man was here until I realized it was actually Eric Smidt, owner of Harbor Freight tools.

>>58125776
I would like that on a shiü such as this: >>58124919
You could be captain Ahab while the crew works in the sails

>>58125873
I can imagine your dismay

>>58125749
sail system >>>>> sails
the sail fabric itself probably costs ~1m
the system could be +$100m...
building the mast into the boat, controls, engineering, etc...

>>58125344
That was good deregulation though

>>58124493
No.
He's paying the rich tax because he doesn't know how to build a boat.

>>58125771
You wouldn't download a boat.

>>58127446
100M?
That beyong all proportions for fuckign sails

>>58124493
>an arrow pointing out equipment lockers
kek he got taken to the cleaners here not even a helipad

>>58124493
is this worth 2.3 mil

>>58124493
>20 knots under sail
Doubt

That said, i would love to have a furlong main like that.
My yacht has lazy jack and a stackpack, which is awesome for lowering the main single handed, but makes raising the main a bit harder.
Also, with a furling main, instead of reefing, you can just furl it a bit more or less.

>>58124493
that shit looks like it should cost 500k max

>>58124493
it's probably some sort of humiliation ritual

>>58124564
nigga your networth is below 20k, shut the fuck up

seriously, all of y'all are pathetic af, does any of you have 100k on your wallets at least? on your bank? on your paypal or paypaw? or cashapp if not or other card?
NO, you fucking don't. Stop acting like y'all are the shit when none of you ever managed to buy a house or actually work.

>>58124493
There are 1000 things I would do rather than spend 500mil on a stupid boat I will have to share with 36 people for 8 days a year.
I would rather try to engineer perfect race of humans on my private Adriatic island and try to outbreed everyone else
Maybe fix elections, I would need like 5 ot 6 mil only, and become decision maker so I can change laws of my country to suit my needs

>>58130363
His net worth is around 200 billion. This is like a basic millionaire buying himself a $5000 little boat. Enough to think about and pick a nice one, but basic spending money.

If the citizen misses 1$ on his tax payment the gov sents him for 100 years in prison.

>>58124493
for the pricetag you are not using tradesman to build your boats but artisans, with the finest material available so yes easily .

>>58131480
doesnt really matter who gets overpaid here, they clearly are
