Mark Zuckerberg reportedly rewarded himself with a luxurious gift: a $300 million super yacht. The billionaire Meta Platforms CEO reportedly purchased the 287-foot vessel with the name Launchpad, according to The Sun and New York Post. The vessel reached America a few days ago, cruising into Fort Lauderdale’s port in the Sunshine State, according to Business Insider. Prior to that, it had recently completed its first-ever official sailing. Superyacht Times pegged its gross tonnage at about 5,000. It can reportedly sail as fast as 24 knots. Zuckerberg has amassed a personal fortune that, according to Forbes, sat around $178 billion as of Thursday evening. He has Meta Platforms, the corporate parent of Facebook, Instagram, Whatsapp and Threads, to thank for that. He co-founded Facebook about 20 years ago. "20 years ago I launched a thing," he wrote on the platform in early February. "Along the way, lots of amazing people joined and we built some more awesome things. We’re still at it and the best is yet to come." He has identified artificial intelligence and the metaverse as long-term focuses of Meta Platforms.

Would be funny his first trip out it would sink to the bottom of the ocean. With Zuckerberg in it. In very deep water.

As long as there's a bar & pole holders, I'm in.
Considering the fact that with a rig like that there are copious amounts of bimbo's.
No, wait. All day long playing of Country music is a deal breaker.

I don't begrudge anyone who owns big boats, airplanes, expensive toys. There is lots of $$$ that go to support workers etc. to run and maintain them.
I DO recommend Suckerberg take his boat on a cruise of the Red Sea.
Houthi might like to have a look at it.

24 kts? I’m not impressed. My last boat could top 90 mph.
I am..........disturbed.

We saw a bunch of yachts similar to this at Cannes right after the Film Festival in about ‘86. Helipads, smaller boats to go ashore. Unbelievable. More power to’em.
