Why do billionaires have cramped yachts?
Living on a giant airship would be like having the highest penthouse apartment in the world, and the most amazing views. And you can move it when you get bored.
- echelon 3y ago> Why do billionaires have cramped yachts? Because there is no law at sea. Haven't you heard what happens on these yachts? Crazy sex, kink, drugs. Even tales of slavery and murder. > Living on a giant airship Even a mild gust would cause trouble. You have to be incredibly mindful of the weather.
- takinola 3y agoIANAL but I would suggest checking on your assumption that there are no laws at sea if you ever plan on taking any actions based on that assertion.

I've read multiple articles (but can't seem to find links to them) that threats of throwing unwilling parties overboard are used to silence and coerce. Seems pretty lawless to me.
- lesuorac 3y agoWhats your defintion of cramped? Their yachts are as long as a football field and also have "Support Vessels" to carry all the crap (i.e. Jet Skis) so they don't clutter the yacht.
- fragmede 3y agoYou're thinking of millionaires yachts. Brin's Dragonfly, with its movie theater and helipad, and Page's Senses, with 6 cabins for guests and 7 for crew, are bigger than most people's houses. But in keeping up with the Musks', I can see billionares competing with each other to have more extravagant homes in even more exotic locations, like in an airship, or an underwater base.
- Philip-J-Fry 3y agoAre yachts cramped? Billionaire yachts are huge and span multiple levels. They're bigger than most houses you can even buy on land. Some even have smaller yachts inside their super yachts.
