Jeff Bezos is paying about twice as much to build this boat as he paid for The Washington Post
The $500 million boat has sails so they can't fit a helipad so Bezos has "commissioned a support yacht" which will have a helipad
I've never been on a fancy boat before but do you have 10x more fun on a $500 million boat than, say, a $50 million boat?
I'm from Annapolis, which is a big boating town, but the bulk of my boating experience comes from sailing one of these for a few summers when I was a kid. It was pretty fun. One of the things it has in common with Jeff Bezos' new boat is no room for a helipad.
