Russian Billionaire's Philippe Starck - Designed Superyacht Startles San Diego {Luxist}

Sep 3rd 2010 11:01AM ...all this guy needs to do is add 2 story Mickey, Minnie, Pluto and Goofy silouettes above the bridge and rename the vessel Fantasia and he can sell it to the folks at Disney in two years. Bizarre design in the classic Soviet bloc tradition. The internal decorating excesses are a very sad commentary on what some people do with their vast financial resources when they have lost track of their senses and sensibilities and become despots in their meglomania-laden fiefdoms. When I read about people like this I can't help but think of all the ways $300 million could be spent to aid humanity and how the donor would undoubtedly benefit as a human being from experiencing the good this type of serious dough could create. Oh, and if he spent more on humanitarian causes instead of killing lots of stingrays and forcing companies into bankruptcy he might not have to install bullet-proof glass in his next mega yacht!
