Bill Gates, 59, the world’s richest man, is on vacation with his family off the coast of Sardinia, Italy.
And the luxury of the holiday was extraordinary: they hired a very luxurious boat and flew it by helicopter.
So?
The $330 million yacht, which rents for $5 million a week, is 450 feet long and has a submarine and 12 staterooms.
There is also a helicopter to take the Gates family to the mainland to play tennis.
Yacht is a kind of high – class durable consumer goods for water entertainment.
It combines sailing, sports, entertainment, leisure and other functions in one, to meet the needs of individuals and families to enjoy life.
In developed countries, yachts, like cars, are mostly owned by individuals, while in developing countries, yachts are mostly operated as parks and tourist attractions for people to consume, and a small amount of them are also used as working means of port supervision, public security and border defense.
The essential feature of a yacht as a means of entertainment distinguishes it from high-speed boats and tourist passenger ships as means of transport.
Yachts will join cars as the next generation of consumer durables entering the home.
