Jeff Bezos 'selling $500m superyacht because it attracts too much attention' [View all]

Jeff Bezos is reportedly selling his £370m superyacht Koru because it is too recognisable.

The Amazon founder is said to feel that the 417ft vessel, the largest sailing yacht in the world, is drawing too much attention.

Mr Bezos, whose cumulative worth is about £203bn, has also soured on the £22m-a-year cost of maintaining the giant vessel, the New York Post reported.

Since its conception, the yacht has been seen as a symbol of excess, not least because the support vessel for the Koru, the Abeona, cost approximately £55m and runs to 250ft.
