      The sad part is that shit isn’t even close to a “super” yatch. It’s a very large fancy sailboat. A super yatch is a hole different ball game.

      I disagree, but I also don’t have a problem with people or companies being wealthy enough to make or own them, either.

          See communist China for a primer on why it’s not a great idea to discourage success.

            They literally have the world’s biggest economy and the second most amount of billionaires on the planet behind the US. I don’t think monetary success is being discouraged over there like you think it is.

            See fascist America for a primer on why it’s not a good to make success dependent on economic upbringing.

            Also if your idea of success is a multi million dollar yacht, than 99.99% of us will never be successful by that metric, so why want to uphold it.
