Don't forget the yachts in the Stony Brook marina! I always smiled as I passed the giant 'Matrix Rose'. No need to ask where the money for that one came from.

- rosege 7y agoJust googled the yacht - its pretty small for someone of his wealth. Check out the late Paul Allen's yacht Octopus or MY Eclipse for what some billionaires go for.
- moscovium 7y agoLet's see Paul Allen's yacht... ...look at that tasteful off-white coloring, the thickness of it. Oh my god -- it even has a water mark.
- gwern 7y agoAllen's Octopus was for research as well, remember. Simons funds plenty of giant expensive research things - just not in yacht form. I wouldn't expect something worthy of Larry Ellison from him.
