Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon, known for his extravagant acquisitions, owns a superyacht called “Koru,” valued at $500 million.

The luxurious 127-meter yacht was ordered in 2018 and completed in 2023. It holds special significance for Bezos, as it was here that he proposed to Lauren Sanchez, his fiancée since 2023. The couple, who have been together since 2019, has not yet revealed details about their wedding.

To complement the Koru, Bezos invested an additional $75 million in a support boat called “Abeona,” named after the Roman goddess of travelers. This second 76-meter boat is equipped with a helipad capable of accommodating a $5.7 million helicopter, as well as space for up to 45 crew members and water sports equipment. It was designed to accompany the superyacht and offer additional support during trips.

Together, the two boats total nearly $600 million, not including the high maintenance costs, which reach $50 million per year. For Bezos, whose net worth is estimated at $230 billion, these amounts are negligible, reflecting his luxurious lifestyle and taste for exclusive experiences.
