The amount of money in that area is unreal. I saw a few similar looking boats when I was on vacation in Ft. Lauderdale a couple summers ago.

the boats you saw, super super impressive for sure, but mostly probably no bigger than 150 feet or so... this 314' boat cruisin' down the intercoastal is a huge fucking deal. it's massive. look at the 4-5 million dollar boats it passes :rofl:

Wikipedia says nearly $150,000,000

Yep, I looked up the owner, Ernesto Bertarelli, net worth is over $11,000,000,000

Alma Mater Harvard Business School.


You see Kids, it helps to be born with bank.


His grandfather founded Serono, a pharmaceutical company that moved from Rome to Switzerland. Bertarelli became CEO in 1996 and, along with his sister Dona, inherited ownership in 1998 on the death of his father. Changing the company's focus from pharmaceuticals to biotechnology, revenues increased from $809 million in 1996 to $2.8 billion in 2006. The company gained fame from its discovery of a natural hormone used in the treatment of female infertility, and its treatments for multiple sclerosis and growth hormone deficiency.

Bertarelli and his family sold the company to Merck KGaA of Germany in January 2007[3] for US$13.3 billion, forming the new company Merck-Serono. His family split an estimated $9 billion stake at that time, which added to previous share sales when the company floated on the NY stock market in 2001, which is now invested mainly through their Waypoint Capital investment vehicle. Bertarelli currently co-chairs - with his sister Dona - the Bertarelli Foundation which focuses on marine conservation and life sciences research.
