The intriguing $500 million megayacht Koru is owned by Amazon co-founder and $127 billionaire Jeff Bezos, which shouldn’t come as a surprise. Instead, if he didn’t have one, that would be unеxpectеd. A Damen Yachting support ship is accompanying Koru, the second-largest sailing ship in the world.
The biggest one is Abeona, a 247-foot-long custom shadow yacht. The Koru is a triple-masted sailing ship with a combined height of 230 feet that is almost as big as the Great Pyramid of Giza. The less well-known fact is that the $500 million luxury ship couldn’t accommodate a helipad.
Lauren Sanchez, Bezos’ partner and a licensed helicopter pilot, founded Black Ops Aviation, the first female-owned aerial film and production firm. Instead of upsetting his girlfriend, the software tycoon purchased the largest shadow yacht with a helipad to wow his friend who is a helicopter pilot.
If a ship’s top-notch amenities, such as a swimming pool, theater, spa, gym, and others, cannot accommodate the recreational pursuits that the seductive Sanchez adores, what use are they?
When Abeona was initially built, she was known as YS 7512 and cost an estimated $75 million to build at the shipyard in Vlissingen, the Netherlands. After completing her sea trials, the largest support ship in the world departed the Dutch shipyard in December and traveled to Gibraltar, where she is now. The magnificent 279-foot vessel features a grey hull and an orange strawberry mark sash, making it longer than many yachts.
The goddess of voyages and departures, whom Sailing Yacht A more closely resembles than her offspring, served as the source of the ship’s namе. In addition to a helipad, it contains a hangar with space for a D14 value helicopter. In addition to a range of toys including submarines, sea bobs, and water scooters, it can easily fit 45 passengers.
Jeff Bezos started dating Lauren Sanchez after divorcing his wife of 25 years, MacKenzie Scott. Despite significant public attention, leaked texts, extortion, and a divorce that cost a biℓℓion dollars, Bezos and Sanchez are still together today.
