The challenge is in building it, not sailing it around. Now he can say "look what I did!" and go on to the New New Thing.

Apparently that's a submarine.

He'll sell it easily, especially with the dollar in the toilet, to some Middle Eastern oil baron or perhaps eastern Europe.

The yacht market in the 200k-800k range has as much to do with the market for 9 figure superyachts as it does with the cost of a McFlurry.

I think he just wanted to build it.
