What’s common between Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, and Bernard Arnault? Apart from being the biggest names in business and centibillionaires, they are owners of superyachts and have zeroed in on a common location to make the most of it. The $500 million megayacht Koru, the $150 million Symphony yacht, and the listed $59 million Wayfinder motoryacht are all moored in the waters between Olbia and Porto Cervo, in Sardinia.
A penchant for putting their feet up in the most picturesque locales aboard opulent pleasure crafts is shared by three of the richest men in the world. The Amazon co-founder is worth $207 billion, the LVMH owner is worth $196 billion, and the Microsoft co-founder is the fifth richest in the world with a staggering wealth of $160 billion. The values of their luxury vessels come to an astounding $709 million. It sure makes for a grand scenery along the eastern coast of Sardinia.
Oceanco beauty Koru, the largest sailing yacht worldwide, which spans 416 feet, is currently moored near the island of Molara along with its support vessel, the $75 million Abeona, which houses the toys, tenders, and helicopter for the owners. According to Ansa, Symphony, the summerhouse on the sea of the Louis Vuitton boss, was spotted in Cala di Volpe, Costa Smeralda, on July 13, heading towards Porto Rafael. The yacht Wayfinder was moored off the coast of Golfo Aranci.
The vessel boasts a helipad that doubles as a pickleball court, a medical room, a fold-out gym, and a garage filled with water toys. The vessel is listed with Edmiston and once sold will make Gates a centibillionaire without a superyacht. This could be his final adieu to the Astilleros Armon beauty, though there is no confirmation if the tech tycoon is aboard.
The vessel Launchpad, belonging to Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg, was also spotted in Taormina, Italy. It is sailing without mentioning any destination. The gorgeous Ahpo Yacht, which once belonged to Michael Lee-Chin and was sold for a staggering $362 million, is also cruising nearby.
