"Somehow" as if it's some great mystery and not because the 1% are siphoning off a bigger and bigger portion of the world's wealth. All to use for their own amusement while recklessly destroying the planet and sabotaging any attempts to do anything about it.

Don't forget using them to hide somewhere out of reach when the peasants finally revolt.

They’ll run out of food and fresh water at some point. And have to come close enough for a drone firebombing or 2.

If this happens, they better be damn sure the workers on the yacht have been paid and treated incredibly generously. It's not like these yachts are actually operated by the owners, and the crew are part of the working class.

Can't stay at sea forever, unfortunately for them.

That's a bold hypothesis. Maybe we should test it, for science.

thier buying yachts like they are art pieces, its likely also laundering scheme.

I’m pretty sure all tagged are $300 million dollars, so that they can be traded at any time for that amount. They are just floating $300m bills.

they will probably gift one to trump eventually, remember that 400mil qatari plane that was too costly to maintain, and now cost 1.2bn to retrofit. probably give CLARENCE thomas a yacht, since he thinks epitome of being rich is a expensive RV.
