Jeff Bezos owns Koru<\/a>, a massive 417-foot yacht that\u2019s worth around $500 million<\/p>\n

It\u2019s an amazing yacht but like any other yacht of this size, it can\u2019t really navigate near small ports and quays.<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s exactly why Bezos splashed out an additional $75 million on a shadow boat for his yacht.<\/p>\n

READ MORE:<\/strong> This is Jeff Bezos\u2019 brand-new superyacht, \u2018Koru\u2019<\/strong>, and it\u2019s worth half a billion dollars<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

She is called Abeona and was built by Damen Yachting<\/a> in the Netherlands.<\/p>\n

Abeona, in nautical jargon, is a shadow boat or support yacht.<\/p>\n

In other words, this yacht is designed specifically to provide support for larger yachts.<\/p>\n

In this case, for Koru.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Damen Yachting<\/p>\n

It can house provisions and supplies, and it can accommodate up to 65 people, 45 passengers and 20 crew, including medical personnel.<\/p>\n

In car terms, this is sort of like buying a Ferrari so you can drive to the garage where your Pagani<\/a> is parked.<\/p>\n

Then again, with a net worth of $144 billion, Bezos can certainly afford it.<\/p>\n

Even though it\u2019s \u2018only\u2019 a shadow yacht, Abeona is still larger than most \u2018normal\u2019 yachts, measuring 75 meters \u2013 or 246 feet.<\/p>\n

More importantly, the yacht is still big enough to include a helipad and additional garages for all tenders, smaller boats and jet skis.<\/p>\n

About Koru<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Known as Project 721 or Koru (Maori for \u2018new beginnings\u2019), she is the world\u2019s second-largest sailing yacht behind Sailing Yacht A, designed by Philippe Starck and built in the Netherlands.<\/p>\n

As well as its $500 million price tag, Koru costs around $40 million between maintenance and docking fees.<\/p>\n

In addition, Abeona has a yearly running cost of $10 million.<\/p>\n

Yep, this means the CEO of Amazon spends $50 million a year just to maintain his yachts.<\/p>\n
