the couple were partying on the yacht off the coast of spain the rising sun is a status symbol among billionaires and hollywood superstars geffen has held parties on the yacht and invited distinguished guests like disney executive chairman bob iger oprah steven spielberg jj abrams netflix co-ceo ted sarandos and barack and michelle obama celebs such as julia roberts leonardo dicaprio tom hanks jerry seinfeld and chris rock have also been spotted on the yacht could we be bigger name droppers right now the rising sun which was also built by lurson can accommodate 18 guests and has a
staff of 55 people it features a double height cinema a basketball court gym and a wine cellar it might even be more impressive than the flying fox the true owner of the flying fox is still a mystery but we do know that the yacht is available to charter via imperial yachts the flying fox is just one of many super yachts available to run from the monaco-based yacht broker if you have 4 million dollars lying around you too could live like jeff bezos even if it's only for a short time jeff bezos might not own the
flying fox but he could easily rent the impressive super yacht the 4 million charter fee is a drop in the bucket for bezos he makes about 220 884 u.s dollars per minute so it would take him a mere 18 minutes to earn enough to rent the mega yacht for a week that's it folks thanks for watching
