But hell, I couldn't even buy all the cars I want for the cost of that thing.

You should see his house.
No wait. that is his house.
If I'm not mistaken, he lives on that boat. It's pretty damn nice.
and it probably was around 100mil. a full size cruise ship is about half a billion so that seems about right. because I'm sure his is furnished with alot nicer things.

It appears to have no form of ammunition on board, hence it's crap. What a wasted oppurtunity, I'd love to see what happens when he gets attacked by pirates.

He has a primary (land) residence here in Portland. (in the west hills area if I remember right, I could be wrong though) It is also massive.

I just did a quick search because i wanted to see some more pics of the boat and i found out a little about it
It cost about $200 million, and its estimated that he has to pay $20 million a year to mantain it
It has a crew of 60 people, including some former Navy Seals
It has 2 helicopters, 7 boats, a 10 man submarine, and a remote controlled vehicle for crawling the Ocean floor

"Hey let's go crawl the ocean!!" :sly:
He needs to ditch the "former" navy seals, and get some active duty navy seals. Like was stated before any old pirate ship could ransack the shit outta his boat.

son, you just made my day.
So, what is your suggestion? Should we take away what this guy has earned and give it to those other people that didn't earn it? Do you really think that if he knew he wouldn't be able to keep any of it, he would have worked to acheive any of it in the first place?
Does the Berlin Wall sound familiar?
Yes, sir, what you just described is the very basis of communism. And if we were to live under that form of government, what motivation would there be to excel? What motivation would there be to be the best? Did you know that since 1978 (I couldn't find stats for when welfare was instated, so I got the closest I could), the percentage of people working full time and living under poverty level has increased 42%? And that is already factoring out population growth. Welfare seems to not be helping these people.

You cant get to the top by simply being the best, ruthlessness is key.
