Yes, it's a hobby that generates some marine archeology which is very nice.
Probably not the equivalent cost of building and running what was the largest yacht in the world. Probably not the most sensible process for choosing projects to pursue. Clearly not as efficient as simply taxing that amount and devoting it directly to more systematically chosen research projects by people familiar with the field. Saving, for example, the whole yacht part.
But certainly a great deal better than funding political campaigns to drive down wages. So kudos!

- greedo 12y agoThe idea that his money should be taxed instead of spent as he wants is a bit disgusting. He's already paid taxes on the money he has earned, and if he wants to spend it on something you find lacking in efficiency and sensibility that's his business. So kudos for derailing this thread about an interesting archaeological find.
