Bill Gates rents a luxury boat to celebrate his birthday ($2 million/week); Bezos congratulates!
American super-rich Bill Gates toured the Aegean Sea on his superyacht on his 66th birthday, and the world's richest man, Jeff Bezos, congratulated him on his visit. The yacht Gates chartered was called the Lana. Built by Imperial Yachts, the vessel features stylish contemporary architectural elements and is 107 meters long and about 351 feet tall. Completed in 2020. For yachting enthusiasts, the name is commonplace.
The company's brands include Marina di Varazze and Yachtique. It operates in 68 countries. Lana's charter costs at least £1.8 million a week. The superyacht can accommodate up to 12 guests in 8 cabins. The facilities on the Lana are plentiful; there is a cinema, a beach club with terrace, a bathroom, and a massage room with professional therapists.
The living space on the Lana includes a salon and a sun deck with a large swimming pool. The interior of the boat is designed in a warm, shiny nautical style, inspired by Art Deco, with a variety of wood tones and textures, luminous tube backlighting and plenty of glass. The interior design emphasizes space, and the circular staircase provides a sculptural center, dining and living space for freedom.
Gates became a billionaire in 1987; at just 31 years old, he was the youngest billionaire ever. In 1995, he became the world's richest man with a net worth of £12.9 billion. His current net worth hovers around $137 billion.
