    Sheesh, everyone acts like this will be the end of life for the billionaires.

    Nah, they won’t notice a thing. They will just fly their local helicopter from their yacht over to the local airport.

    Or, they will dock off-shore, and just take one of the MANY boats inside of their yacht to shore. Seriously- lots of the mega yachts have a internal boat dry dock.

    Those mega yachts are no joke. I’d recommend watching a few youtube videos giving tours of them… it’s pretty insane.

        I watch them to understand and learn about some of the engineering that goes into them.

        Power systems, hydraulic systems, redundant propulsion systems, etc. The engineering can be quite fascinating.

      They’ll probably just anchor off the Amalfi coast just south of Naples where it’s yacht-central. Seriously, it’s straight out of a James Bond movie or something. The amount of rich people hanging out on boats just offshore and in little secluded private beaches is overwhelming. I bused through it once years ago (didn’t stay there: too rich for me) and was just amazed at the scenery and wealth on display. Gorgeous place. Poor people not welcome.
