I've not seen this before. It's unbelievable! Such wealth! Wonderful presentation VP.
Very smooth and slick ship! Very cool how it has so many gadgets on board :D
Altro che yacht, questa è una villa galleggiante! Ciao, Arianna
That is amazing, VP. Of course, I cannot fathom why anyone would feel they need something like this.
It carries two submarines?! Too much for me! :-) But I'm glad one of them is for research purposes.
I'm happy to see my dollars spent on Microsoft products are going to good use :) Great photos!
The impressive yacht, 2 helicopters and 2 submarines! I really cannot imagine such a wealth! But, may be, he donates too for good causes. let's hope!
We have a saying here which goes like this: "it is justice only in death"
