The unexpected truth about billionaire Jeff Bezos’ $500,000,000 superyacht was finally made public.

Amazing Details About Jeff Bezos’ Mega Yacht

It comes as no surprise that billionaire Jeff Bezos splurged on a super yacht with a startling $500 million price tag given the size of his money. Named “Koru,” this opulent ship took five years to construct and has a length that is nearly twice as long as two Airbus A380 aircraft. With three masts reaching 70 meters in height and a length of 127 meters, Koru has established itself as the tallest sailing boat in the world, matching half the height of Egypt’s famous Giza Pyramid.

The Netherlands-based construction company Oceanco created this remarkable yacht. Its eye-watering $500 million price tag is matched by its astronomical $50 million annual maintenance cost (equal to 1.2 trillion Vietnamese dong). An extravagant mega yacht like Koru costs around 10% of its total worth to maintain and operate.

Koru is not only well known for its enormous size and extravagance, but it is also a pioneer in green technology. With its cutting-edge technologies, this yacht doesn’t require a large crew and can be controlled by only one person.

Koru has a dedicated support vessel of its own, called “Abeona,” which can accommodate up to 45 people in total, including crew, visitors, and specialist staff. For the convenience of Bezos and other dignitaries, Abeona also has a helipad.

Little is known about Koru’s interior, which is covered in a sleek black hull and tasteful white sails. There are rumors that it does, however, have three decks, one of which has a pool.

The $200 million sailing yacht “Black Pearl,” which is a legendary model, served as inspiration for Koru’s cutting-edge and environmentally friendly designs. Another sailing yacht that has influenced Koru is “Eos,” which is owned by Jeff Bezos’ close friend Barry Diller, the founder and former CEO of Fox.

Before it arrived, there was a debate over whether or not to temporarily demolish the iconic Koningshaven Bridge in the Netherlands to make room for the yacht. But eventually, the yacht’s enormous masts were set up at a different location, preserving the medieval bridge’s beauty and significance.

Jeff Bezos’ enormous fortune and achievements are reflected in Koru’s grandeur and splendor. This extravagant super yacht is a representation of grandeur and a proof of the level of luxury one of the world’s richest people can afford.
