Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez in Mljet: The Billionaire Who Dodges Yacht Mooring Fees While Living Large
Imagine this: one of the richest people on the planet, Jeff Bezos, enjoying the beautiful Croatian island of Mljet with his newlywed wife, Lauren Sanchez. They rode bikes, admired the natural beauty, waved to people, all while surrounded by heavy security and a crew that prepared their bikes. But here comes the shocking part – Bezos and Lauren DID NOT pay a single dime for mooring their yacht worth MILLIONS of euros!
Yes, you read that right! This luxury yacht can host 18 guests and 40 crew members, including the captain. While you’d expect a billionaire to pay hefty marina fees, he chose to anchor his yacht off Cavtat, avoiding the high costs of the marina. This isn’t the first time such a strategy is used – Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich did the same, keeping his yacht off Cavtat for two months, paying only a vignette valid for a year.
Of course, there are rules – yachts cannot stay in Croatian waters for more than 90 days, but thanks to regular crew changes, this is not a problem. So while ordinary mortals pay for every inch of space, the richest people in the world manage to dodge these fees and enjoy luxury for free.
This situation sheds light on the problem of inequality and hypocrisy in the world of the rich. While ordinary people pay for every inch, billionaires find ways to avoid costs using their connections and power. Is this fair? Of course not! But hey, that’s the world we live in.
If you think this is funny or ridiculous, just wait to see what the rich will come up with next to save on luxury. What do you think about this? Would you like to have such a yacht and not pay marina fees? Or is this too much? Drop a comment, let’s see who’s for and who’s against this rich man’s saving tactics!
