Jeff Bezos, the billionaire founder of Amazon, is reportedly considering selling his superyacht Koru, valued at $500 million. The 417-foot vessel, built by Dutch manufacturer Oceanco, has become too large for Bezos to manage comfortably. Sources indicate that the yacht's increasing public visibility is also a concern for the entrepreneur, affecting his privacy during travels. Koru is accompanied by a $75 million support vessel named Abeona, although it is unclear if it will be included in any sale. Operating both vessels together incurs costs of around $30 million annually. Koru boasts several luxury features, including a glass-bottom swimming pool, three jacuzzis, and accommodations for up to 18 guests, requiring a crew of 36 to operate. The yacht has gained notoriety for its wooden mermaid sculpture at the prow, which some speculated resembled Bezos' partner, Lauren Sánchez, but is actually a representation of Freyja, the Norse goddess. Since its launch, Koru has been associated with Bezos and Sánchez's high-profile lifestyle, hosting numerous celebrity guests and serving as the backdrop for their engagement in May 2023.
