[Ipg-smz] This megayacht is a steal - (the late Paul Allen's megayacht - Octopus)

[Phil Shapiro]

Thanks for asking. I noticed on the Jiffy Lube sticker at the front of the megayacht that the odometer is at 75,000 nautical miles. 

And this megayacht has been meticulously maintained. Oil changed every 5,000 miles. Wideshield wiper fluid topped up. Everything.

Do you know how many miles it has on it by any chance? My present megayacht is getting a little old.

If anyone here in IPG is looking to buy a megayacht, the Octopus megayacht (owned by the late Paul Allen) is selling for 
€295,000,000. That's a steal. You don't find many 414 foot megayachts selling for under a $1 billion these days. That probably 
includes free shipping, too.

Comes with just the right amount of amenities -- two helicopters and two submarines. I don't know how anyone thinks 
they can get by with a single helicopter on a megayacht. Personally, I'd never buy a megayacht with a single helicopter. 
That's just tacky.
