The Brutal Economics of Owning a Mega Yacht

What does it ACTUALLY cost to own a private yacht? Not the purchase price — the REAL number. Crew, fuel, maintenance, insurance, depreciation... and why Bezos pays $137,000 per day just to keep his floating. In this video I break down every tier: → $500K entry level sailing yacht → $10M superyacht (the full annual bill) → $500M Bezos Koru — the most expensive private vessel ever built 00:00 - The number that changes everything 00:59 - What kind of yacht are we talking? 02:07 - The real purchase cost 04:20 - The annual bill (full breakdown) 04:55 - The dirty secret: depreciation 05:32 - Can you actually make money? 08:06 - Bezos, Zuckerberg & Ellison tier 10:35 - Who buys these and why The number that broke my brain: Bezos flew his yacht fleet 850 hours in 8 months. Fuel cost alone: $2.3 million. Carbon emissions: equivalent to 17 years of the average American's footprint. This is Egonomics. The rich math nobody talks about. #yacht #superyacht #privateyacht #bezos #wealth #luxury #economics #megayacht #financialeducation #richpeople
