Tilman Fertitta Gets a New $150 Million Super Yacht

He must be doing ok then or got a great deal on it so I’m glad for him. It’s better then him selling off stuff.

According to the article, it was commissioned 4 years ago. Obviously, a lot has changed since then. Not sure of the financial arrangements in commissioning something like this, but guessing the lion’s share has already been paid or obligated.

Now he won’t have to schlep his other yacht back and forth between the Caribbean and Mediterranean like a pleb.

It’s taken 4 years to build, not like he went down to the local yacht dealer yesterday and plunked down the cash for one on the lot.

Since there is a lot of home time during the you know what I have taken to YouTube to watch these clips about Yacht.

The gigantic upkeep cost on these things is totally out of hand.

Apparently the rule of thumb is about 10%. So it is about $15 M on the annual cost that could be + or - depending on the length of a particular trip.

Ok so at $50,000 a year if I squirrel away 412.00 from each biweekly paycheck that will be about $5000 a year. I can buy one of these in only 30,000 years. I wonder if cats will still look like cats then.

Good for him. He has worked his rear end off for decades and employed thousands of people. This is what America is all about. You work hard, you succeed.
