    Don’t you hate it when your yacht is just too big?

    A source tells Page Six that Jeff Bezos is quietly shopping his $500 million floating palace, Koru — because it’s just too huge to manage.

    The jaw-dropping vessel also has a $75 million support ship, Abeona, though it is unclear if this is part of the deal. According to reports, it costs $30 million per year to operate the two ships together. (Not that that’s a burden for the “250 Billion Dollar Man,” but it may make buyers scarce.)

      It fairly boggles the mind, doesn’t it?

      I got a bit of an education in the very lucrative business of government in Annapolis harbor. There were so many multimillion dollar yachts- hundreds of them.

        My heart bleeds for his troubles.

        I'm a total landlubber but found that article truly irritating for the way it occasionally used 'boat' (and even 'yacht') to describe such a large multi-masted ocean going ship.

        It's a ship.

        And not to be too much of a complaining pedant, yes it is also a yacht, but isn't a far better description something like 'three-masted schooner?
        It's more like a tea clipper than your average yacht!

        Fabulous ship, one of the good things of having ridiculously wealthy individuals is that things like this are built.
