Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon and the richest businessman in the world (FORBES estimates his net worth at $191.5 billion in real time), is building one of the world's largest sailing yachts, Bloomberg reports citing his sources. According to the agency, a three-masted 127-meter yacht will cost Bezos about $ 500 million, and an auxiliary yacht that can receive helicopters will also be built to accompany it.
Earlier, the Dutch company Oceanco was building both yachts by order of Bezos, according to businessman biographer Brad Stone in his book Amazon Unbound: Jeff Bezos and the Invention of a Global Empire. An Oceanco spokesman declined to comment for Bloomberg.
The agency notes that Bezos ordered the construction of the yacht "a couple of years ago", before the start of the covid-19 pandemic , and after the onset of the disease, the demand of the rich for expensive yachts skyrocketed, far exceeding supply. “It is currently not possible to place an order for the construction of a new yacht, all slots are booked,” said Sam Tucker, HEAD of superyacht research at London-based VesselsValue.

Aino Grapin, CEO of yacht interior design studio Winch Design, says that COVID-19 has made especially popular the so-called travel yachts, which can sail for long periods without needing to refuel, so that their owners can enjoy the cruise without contact with anyone.
