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.”

 

Maxin’ and relaxin’

 

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!
