£8 MILLION DISCOUNT

I must say, with Friday’s Mega-Millions lottery sitting at $86 Million (just under R1 Billion), I am thinking quite seriously about this little number.

Check it out.

Billionaire to throw the helipad in for free… superyacht sale giveaway

Desperate to complete a swift sale, the owner of one of the world’s most opulent yachts is offering an £8 million reduction to seal a deal within the next 30 days.

Alibella

 

“The current global economic conditions have produced a number of interesting opportunities on the large yacht market,” said brokers Edmiston, in an e-mail to clients.

“The brand new 50 metre Benetti, Alibella [has been] reduced in price by EUR 9.5 million … the owner will sell at this massively reduced price if the deal can be completed in under 30 days.”

Anthony, could you say grace please..

 

The six cabin, 14-berth Alibella has gold leaf and marble finishing and a helipad. She was launched just six months ago, and is said to be one of a number of super-yachts to receive dramatic sale price reductions in recent weeks. The price-tag is now just a cool EUR 24.5 million.

Please, take a seat. Can I offer you a whisky?

 

“It’s a buyers market for superyachts” says one ship-broker, as financial worries cause many to sell their floating palaces.

 

It certainly is a buyer’s market. And that is why I have bought 5 tickets to Friday’s MegaMillions lottery. I’m going to win it and then Alibella will be mine.

ALL MINE!!!

WAHAHAHAHA!!!!

If the worst comes to the worst I’ll get myself something a little smaller. Like those beauties at Boating World in Cape Town. The luxury motor yachts there may cost less then R200 Million, but they’re panty-droppers nonetheless!
