      And he has actually been using his super yacht to do actual ground breaking research on the biology of extremely deep sea creatures.

      Not even joking, that yacht has a deep sea submersible, he bought the shipyard so he could direct the refitting of the super yacht to be able to carry and launch it… they’ve been mapping a trench near Japan, have captured high resolution video and bathymetry… they even appear to have discovered a or maybe a few new species.

      I mean yeah, having a super yacht is … pretty extra.

      But, there are certainly worse ways one could be using it.
