According to The New York Post, Jeff Bezos’ $500 million superyacht Koru (codename Y721) was observed on February 13 in the North Sea. The North Sea is a sea in the northern Atlantic Ocean. Dutch Yachting uploaded a video of the test run to its YouTube channel.
Koru is almost 127 meters long and made of steel and aluminum. Three decks are said to exist, one of which has a pool. For the millionaire who was born in 1964 or his notable guests, the big yacht also includes a backup ship that is approximately 76 meters long and equipped with a helipad. According to The Daily Mail, the small yacht might contain a range of “toys” like speedboats, expensive cars, jet skis, and possibly a personal submarine.
Each year, it takes about $25 million to run Koru. The boat requires a 40-person crew and has enough for 18 passengers.
The locals are vehemently opposed to the government’s policies. In reaction to the foregoing, Ahmed Aboutaleb, the mayor of Rotterdam City, declared in February 2022 that neither a choice nor a request for a permit had been made about the bridge’s demolition. He emphasized that the government would make a decision when the permit application was submitted and the expert had assessed the impact (whether the bridge would be harmed during destruction and whether Mr. Bezos would be responsible for the costs).
Koningshaven could not be destroyed in the end. The boat was transported from the construction site to another shipyard in a nearby town without a mast.
But it is impossible to completely win over public opinion. Many residents of Rotterdam claimed that if Bezos’ superyacht crossed the De Hef bridge, they would demonstrate by throwing eggs at it. This could be the cause of the lack of activity around the yacht’s removal from the yard after it was built and ready for a test run.
Koru is not the priciest yacht in the world. This honor belongs to the $4.8 billion History Supreme, which was purchased in 2011 by the unnamed Malaysian investor.
However, Koru’s net worth, which Forbes estimates to be $181 billion, decreased somewhat as a result of Bezoz’s position. The superyacht, helicopter, and jet collection of a wealthy businessman and his alluring girlfriend Lauren Sanchez can be considered to include the most priceless object.
In a grand display of opulence, the Superyacht of Amazon billionaire made its final journey across the azure waters. Adorned with lavish amenities and cutting-edge technology, it stood as a symbol of ultimate luxury and success. As the sun set, casting a golden glow upon its sleek hull, the Superyacht whispered tales of unrivaled achievements, forever etching the name of the Amazon billionaire into the annals of maritime magnificence.
