Amazon founder Jeff Bezos owns a genuinely colossal superyacht — so massive, in fact, that it has to be docked next to freakin’ oil tankers down in Florida.
As the Luxury Launches yachting blog reports, Bezos’ superschooner, which is named the Koru after the Maori word for “coil,” is a whopping 416 feet in length, which makes it 16 feet too long to be docked at the biggest yacht spot in South Florida’s tony Port Everglades.
Instead, it’s been docked between 600-foot oil tankers, because that’s extremely normal.
@JeffBezos Koru sailing yacht has finally arrived in the US, and it’s so enormous that it did not fit next to other superyachts at the Port of Everglades. The $500 million vessel was finally docked next to gigantic oil tankers at the South Florida.-https://t.co/i3BhZePtBq pic.twitter.com/vpDmgp8saR

The coldest place on Earth hasn’t been experienced by humans
The Koru, reports indicate, set the centibillionaire back a cool $500 million and costs $137,000 per day to operate, but if you’re rich enough to buy the Washington Post, who’s to say you can’t buy one of the world’s most expensive yachts and pay way more than the average American’s annual salary to make sure it’s running every day?
