"His wife who is quite a bit younger than him"..........surprise surprise!!!! I never would have guessed that!
My first boat was bought with the help of Ms Lyra Holt Dean. Sailing is thousands of years old and we continue this long-lasting, intriguing and at the same time dangerous tradition! Throughout history sailing has helped various civilizations to develop and prosper as people sailed accross oceans to settle in new undiscovered areas. Each time we set a sail it’s as if you could feel the same excitement, uncertainty and craving for adventure as it used to be thousands of years ago. In a way sailing is like a bridge connecting us with times long lost.

the sense of order on a boat, where everything has a place and a function, and it's possible to make everything shipshape.
Having a yatch must be the most relaxing and fun time you could wish for, i respect those billionaires.
REMEMBER PEOPLE, rich people buying yachts creates a rather long list of very high paying jobs for a lot of people. To build these masterpieces, someone is going to have to fund them. The funds that purchase these ships, also pay crews in manufacturing (raw material to assembly), and pay crews in operations (from docks, to maintenance, to the ship it self). Also, heavy spenders also means more people making more money. It's taken me too long to realize that wealth is actually easy to attain. It's a simple difference of mindset. If you go out with the mindset that people all owe you something, you are going out to remain in poverty and gripe about other peoples wealth. Go out knowing that you are in-charge of your own future and realizing that you are the only person who owes you anything, than you can get a yacht. Reasons why you can't = Never achieves anything Reasons why you can = You get shit done and achieve dreams

***** I don't care a lot about "likes", I have comments I've made on KZread with more then 300 likes, some with only a few and some with none. You don't get many "likes" on comments in videos like this, it's quite normal. I suppose that common sense your speaking about is indicating that no one works at those ocean side repair shops and cleaning facilities in Miami? When you buy a used car, does someone not first buy it new whom has a bit more income? Who builds and maintains those cars? Well people do, well the same goes for boats. Unlike cars, these boats require more engineers, they require more specialists, they require more diverse materials, they require heavier manufacturing, some require a crew, they require maintenance, they require cleaning, and they require stocking. For all these tasks, there are many various people earning their lively hood. There income is brought about thanks to people whom had a little more money to spend. What are you trying to prove? Jobs for who you ask? One boat has upwards of 500+ income positions it directly affects. Do you know how many positions exist in fiberglass manufacturing alone? Do you know how much fiberglass is used in some of these boats? I don't think you understand economy. The final half of my first comment is to say, it's simply a matter of mindset that determines what you achieve. Please tell me where I am not using common sense?

wazup3333 Why not? One month after you wrote this response, I started a logistics company with a partner who took a chance in me knowing I only had some experience and no cash in my pocket. Using key mentors in various specialties I grew to a company net-worth of $800,000. That's in just barely three months, think about that time frame for a second. I had nothing in my pocket, I had lost my job a year ago, I was living off credit cards, my house payment was $1000.00 a month, savings drained and one small retirement cashed out (that's bad ju ju). The only thing I did was network with the 1% percent of America for free, learn a few things and located a mentor in the process. The mentor was the key element in this success. The funny part was, I wasn't looking for a mentor or a business, but I got both. I was just being a friend and we got into a conversation about goals and here I am. I am 31 years old. I can have a yacht in the desired time frame just by being a friend. You can have your dreams whenever you want them, there is no reason why not, just have to open your imagination and adjust the perspective.

Why are there so many comments bagging on the rich guy? So he got super rich after selling the company that he built. The man has tenacity and drive to reach a goal that most people don't have.

Never makes any sense to me. I hate fucking boats too. Love the ocean though. I'd go for an amazing beach house and ditch the wife idea so I can keep it all. His wife is a dime a dozen.

Wealth is a trap. There is no spoon..
I would so not want a crew of 17. If I had that kind of money I would use the yacht to get away from it all. Just enough crew to run the boat, cook & basic housekeeping. It would actually irritate me if someone ran in to straiten up my room every time I left. Once a day, change sheets, make the bed & straiten up is just fine. Having 17 people running around all day kind of defeats the point of getting away from it all.

Y'know what I liked the most? That man has his maintenance down pat. Nothing pisses me off more than poorly maintained property. Especially if the property in question (yacht, house, car, horse whatever) was created to be special and unique. To treat it any less is an insult to whoever made it. And a dark stain on the character of whoever is responsible for it. Indeed, his wife is a couple of years younger than he. Well done Sir. What a yacht.

I personally know a Farmer who was in default on all his property. It was valued at $200 million dollars.... a gentleman came and offered him $65 million dollars cash after taxes and all liens were paid in full. The farmer was outraged $65m for property worth $200m.... THEN as the farmer explained it, I learned how to count... That he could walk away free and clear with $65 million dollars in hand... this came to him at around 3am. He said by Noon the papers were signed. He and his wife are now retired with $62 million dollars in hand after purchasing a new home, cars, and toys. Plus a little travel.... He stressed, learn to count. Sometimes what looks like a loss can really be a step up in life (with no worries)
This guy is savvy enough to have an iron clad prenup. He got his start in Bush Whack Arkansas with nothing but dust in his pockets and built a fortune. I can admire someone like that.
