I do understand the sentiment expressed by Mr. Leslie; however, since the yacht is supposed to cost $500 million, that means that $500 million has to be SPENT. Spent on what? Employing shipbuilders, steel makers, engine manufacturers, cabinet makers, wiring makers, fiberglas suppliers, helicopter manufacturers,etc, etc., all of whom will employ workers to make these products for the boat.

Then 70 crew will have jobs, and since the yacht will presumably be calling on ports around the world, will supply additional jobs for food and fuel suppliers, dockworkers, and others to support this vessel.

So, Mr. Leslie, it doesn't matter how these gazillionaires spend their money, so long as the do, in fact, spend it!

You sound like a fool.. If someone has 500 million to plop down.. why would they want to rebuild that hell hole like haiti? I would go for the toy boat. Haiti will never be the place to go..period........no matter how much money you dump on them

YOU ARE JACKASS.THIS MAN GIVES AWAY MILLIONS.TYPICAL LIBERAL PUKE SAVE HAITI WE DONE ENOUGH HOW ABOUT WE DO NOT HAVE ANY MORE MONEY TO SAVE ANYONE,BUFFONE

Your place in the afterlife is not baised on how much money you spend or on what you spend it on.

The gift of pardon is free.

WE ARE HELPING HAITI {WE HELP EVERYONE} AND FINDING A "CURE" FOR A DISEASE IS NOT COST EFFECTIVE. THEY WANT US DYING. GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF THE MUD. I WAS BORN THE SAME TIME YOU WERE AND I WAS A HIPPY BUT NOT TO THE POINT WHERE I WANT TO TAKE JOBS AWAY FROM PEOPLE. HELPING, LOVING AND CARING FOR EVERYONE SOUNDS REALLY NICE BUT IT IS NOT REAL!
