A report has reached our friends over at Gadling that Brangelina is buying a ginormous Italian yacht. According to "sources," the couple have ordered a 240 ft yacht from Privilege Yard on the Mediterranean near Rome. Currently, the yard is confirming that a large order has been placed, but isn't saying whether or not it's for the famous couple. The yacht in question features a 6 suites, a swimming pool, and Helipad. Personally, I doubt the validity of this story. I think that if Brangelina was in the market for a boat, they would be looking at container ships and/or Noah's Ark to fit their ever growing family.

Is Luxist a gossip column or a blog featuring objects of desire? You should have featured the yacht and casually mention the people. You could have mentioned a rumor of certain persons buying a certain yacht and then featured the yacht. Instead you featured the people and casually mention the yacht. Stay within scope Luxist.

While this story seems to be getting a lot of coverage - http://www.buzztracker.com/category/brangelina - I have trouble believing its true. That type of purchase seems to be very of our character for them. They seem more the type to be seen in a Tam Coc boat, at least publically.

I would have to believe this is just a rumor. Even combining their income doesn't put them in the 240ft yacht ownership club, unless they're looking to sell within 5 years. The initial costs to build and then maintain a ship of that size makes the list of customers capable of owning very, very short.

I was just thinking that myself David...As wealthy as they may be, I dont think they've got a few hundred million dollars sitting around that they could casually waste on themselves.....and, as much as I dislike the both of them, I've got to believe they'd be more likely to donate money to chairty or adopt more children from the hottest boutique african nations..

The story has now been denied by the Italian yacht maker.

I agree John, they should focus on the goods here and not on a silly couple (I hate those two), the yacht seems fantastic, but again, no pics or more comments on that. I'm reading Luxist for a long time, and for me, it's the best source for luxury goods, so, keep with the goods!

a wealthy saudi prince wanted to gift the jolie-pitts this yacht, but once it became public info they had to decline the offer. however it is common knowledge in the industry that the most a-list celebs/musicians have rich 'fans' (like Saudi princes and wealthy Russians or Armenians) who send them multi-million dollar presents and gifts all the time as tokens of their admiration. The gift of choice is usually a Gulfstream, but sometimes its things like $10M diamonds, original Picassos, real estate, etc which the celebs usually sell and the public never finds out the details.
Besides, Brad and Angie are waaaaaay to eco-savvy to even dream of purchasing a mega yacht that gobbles hundreds of thousands of gallons of gasoline a year!!!!! That money would save like 30,000 african and cambodian chillren!
