The motor yacht isn't quite as hideous as this house in Pacific Heights, San Francisco that has just been bought by the widow of Steve Jobs for US$70m - making it the most expensive house in SF.
Nice yacht in the highlands

just cos you have money ,
doesn't mean you have taste.
doesn't mean you have taste.
Whenever I see these ships/boats/yachts I always imagine a James Bond type villain on board, or perhaps in todays political climate some WEF acolyte lording it over the plebs.
I find these vessels are ostentatious and vulgar displays of obscene wealth. In the words of the country music goddess Shania Twain "that don't impress me much"

Gosh, you could buy a slightly better than average but not superstar Premier League midfielder for that amount of money, and so that price for a house and or a footballer is obscene.

I bet his yacht doesn't have to stop for 5 minutes whilst it's upgrades are revalidated.
They will get their passports stamped 'OYS Entry - 17/07/2024'
Wasn’t that close to where nuclear sub HMS “Anguish” grounded a few years back.
The ComOff was relieved of his duties soon thereafter IIRC?
Looks like the bastard son of a submarine and a warship to me. Jeez there's no accounting for taste, no matter how loaded you are
Yebbut once you’re on it you can’t see it from the outside. I bet it’s blooming nice inside though.
Well for balance and just in case Mr Simonyi frequents these pages and gets upset about everyone dissing his yacht I think it looks pretty cool and purposeful.
And of course park it up in Puerto Banus with the gang plank down and no matter how ugly and fat you are it will be swarming with scantily clad young ladies prepared to uck you to death in the hot tub
Almost certainly not happening in Portree harbour...
Ps...I think it looks perfect!
BUTEC is in the Raasay Sound
Always something that would stop me from moving from sailing to a gin palace is the hideous cost, an initial reaction would be how unfair it is someone could afford to spaff £40m a year on a boat but I suppose it's one way of the rest of society attempting to claw back some of their mountain of cashMy lad see’s a lot of these tech billionaires boats in the Caribbean, especially around Christmas. Remember its not just the purchase price, these boats need a minimum of 10 to 15% value for daily running costs , fuel staff , berthing. So Norn will be costing £40 mill per year minimum.
However Charles’s net worth of $8 billion may go some way to funding that
- it will provide employment and support other jobs and revenues for businesses wherever it docks to take on food and fuel so good to see this tech billionaire spending some of their wealth and over in Scotland not in Monaco or the Caribbean is a good thing 
It still proves that taste and wealth don't necessarily go together ... I'd rather have a Nordhaven - at least there's also a chance I could sail it myself with a few good buddy's
They must have found the only “shingle” bank this side of Gosport.
I've been following this motor yacht for the last week or so, just interested in the places it goes.
It's currently in a fjord at Lysebotn in Norway, there's an impressive set of 30 hairpins down to the village.
