i stayed on a sailboat with my uncle and family and it just had a bedroom, galley, living area (where additional beds were), and a bathroom and that was enough. you would never need a boat as big as that picture because you’d never see 75% of it.
If you have to captain it yourself is it really a boat /s
these super yachts are a symbol of doing crimes in international water.
plus it’s the billionaire’s insurance against the climate change they all fuel. they need huge staffs to care for them because they don’t have any skills. at all. even a little.
It’s so he has room for all the people who pretend to be his friends, but really just wanted to hang out on a yacht for free.
they have to hire people to spend time with them
I always find it funny how well the roach people like me can do without versus how much of giant children rich people are. Rich people just kill themselves when they think about having to live like I do
every billionaire, is at heart, a fucking loser
The thing is though, you’ve probably got some skills they would need on that boat…
Bet they need a barista onboard…
So, you (we, us) could be going to all those same luxury locations, sleeping on the same boat, doing simple jobs and just slowly sailing around in the sunshine too… without having to pay for it (admittedly not getting paid much either)
And when “the boss” is off on a helicopter trip to some lame party, then we’d still be there, having a beach bbq, enjoying the good life.
That’s what I found out too late in life… I should’ve done boating jobs in my school / college holidays and worked up to the luxury jobs
Look at this one. They thing the staff gets to live in the comfy parts of the ship and enjoy the sunshine. You’ll be lucky if your room is above water and has a window. Imagine working for a company where you not only slept on the premises but all your free time was spent in the office building, with the occasional chance to explore the neighborhood now and then when the boss decides to unlock the front door.
Ho ho.
Yeah, a friend of mine does the entertainment systems on some of these, so I only have anicdotal stories to go by, but, yep, I wish I’d done that years ago.
Also… I work a tough job where it’s often 12 hr days, so living in the building… I’ve even got the t-shirt 😉
Yeah I mean, I’m not delusional enough to think it would be the worst job.
I don’t like being on the water, I have a serious phobia of it. I wouldn’t be able to live with myself working for someone like that either. It’s a big reason why I’m self employed
Preface: I do not agree with this lifestyle or billionaires in general.
That 75% is for the crew / staff. Schultz and family (and guests) won’t be driving the boat, cleaning the boat, making the meals, serving the drinks etc. All of that is done by a small army of staff who all need a place to stay in the boat. The extent of the family and guests’ interaction with the ship and its running will be deciding to go somewhere and having the captain and crew make it happen, and OKing the menu from the head chef.
it’s the same thing with the big old manor houses in europe, most of the room is for the workers required to tend to the every need of the bourgeois parasites
