Super Rich People

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

I was working out in Croatia in the late 90's. One weekend we were out in Trogir having a bit of food and a couple of beers when this huge yacht pulled alongside in the harbour. There were a quite a few scantily clad laddies wandering round the deck sipping cocktails and sunbathing alongside tanned deckhands in crisp white uniforms; the was the kind of scene you'd expect to see in Miami Vice. Then we notices some short arse old guy walking down the gangway with a significantly younger and taller supermodel type on his arm.

Bernie Eccleston.

That's a disappointment, TMT - I was more than half expecting you to finish with Jurgen Klopp!

I think even if I were super rich, a boat is way way way down the list of things I'd have.

At that level of wealth, I very much doubt they have a list.

When I was in Monaco in the early 90's, Grand Prix week, we were invited by a friend of a friend to a party on board a huge boat. Security men on the gangplank, free booze, a band and limited access to the boat itself, stateroom, bathroom etc etc.

Although it was certainly impressive it was tacky as hell. Most of the women were paid for models who were there to make sure the guests had a good time, but not that sort of good time...

Everyone mingled with loads of cheek kissing and high voices and treated the staff like shit.

It, apart from the free scotch, was fucking horrible. After an hour or so I nicked a bottle of scotch and left, much to the horror of my mates.

Not for me. Most of them were cunts.

Got off a cruise ship in Monaco a few years back, had to come in on a tender and go back to ship on it too. As we were walking along the harbour wall going back a white Lamborghini passed us and stopped at the back of a large yacht, the driver got out he was about twenty-five, five foot tall, well overweight with a mop of curly black very greasy hair hanging down over a pig like face that was made for gurning. He screamed something in a lingo I didn't understand into the back of the boat and a blond supermodel type appeared. He hurled his car keys at her still shouting then turned his back on her and stuck out his arm until she booked her arm in his and off they went. Him still ranting at her. She clearly loved him.
Best thing I saw in Monaco was a three story Spar, it was magnificent.

Money and human initiative well spent!

Massive yacht pulled up outside our building the other day, dwarfed all the other boats.
I googled the name of it 'Dragonfly'

Belongs to Sergey Brin, co founder of Google (ironically)

It cost $80m and apparently is the worlds fastest.
Sergey Brin is worth $63 billion.
I think he's 43.

So come on lads and lassies, get yer thinking caps on. Another Facebook or Google is all you need to sail around the world in absolute luxury.

That's fuck all. You should see the one Ric's got since we all turned off ad-blocker. It's bigger and has a heli-pad and pool on the deck where all the mods hang out snorting coke off prozzies arses.

Villamoura, eh? Bet yer bought some shite from that CR7 boutique, bm!

Might have taken a piss against it ;)

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Once saw Abramovich and his monster boat moored up just outside Villamoura marina.

The boat he came ashore in was bigger than anything moored in the actual marina and that's saying something.

For that extra touch of gauche, there was a beautiful navy blue Rolls Royce with number plate RA 1 waiting to take him to the casino.

These guys buy boats for one reason, to get clear if the shit hits the fan.

Straight for international waters. Same goes for our own owner. His Topaz yacht can pretty much get anywhere it needs to.

Hey; whatever floats your superyacht fella. We won't judge you!
