Oh, and Paul Allen's Octopus. Notice the "smaller" crafts that it has too.

^ That is simply as big as a building. I'd be scared to buy something that big.

I'd take a Wally118 instead.

Sadly, the Octopus is no longer the largest private yacht, how big is big enough?

Yea I hear Paul Allen, Larry Ellison, and Roman Abramovich are all competing with each other who has the bigger boat. When one person gets a giant boat another one gets a bigger one and on and on lol... Will it never end? And I think some of the disgustingly rich oil people in the middle east are also getting in on it.
