Zuckerberg & his mega yacht

[Donald]

Mark Zuckerberg sent his mega yacht to Fuji so he could join it there and surf. Then after it got there he changed his mind and the yacht was directed to Port Everglades. Burned 400,000 liters of diesel

Now I just read his yacht was not burning diesel but rather bunker fuel. That's just being cheap and not caring about the black smoke coming out of your exhaust

Don't let it distract you from the fact that it's the poor people's responsibility to make better life choices and help with global warming.

Think about how all the crew feeds everyone and feeds themselves and play video games all day at sea. I believe there was a TV series about crew antics amongst such folk.

Do we know whether his yacht had the option to buy diesel rather than bunker fuel?

If one were to drive a lifted modded diesel one ton that gets 10 mpg average that's a bit over a million miles.

This reminds me of that bullcrap video he posted about being just another good humble guy driving a little manual Volkswagen to the office from his middle class house. They're faker than a 12 dollar bill.

Regulations for thee, not for mee.

He earned it, good for him and for the folks who built it, crew it, maintain it, provision it, sell him fuel.......

Good to know. And there are hundreds of other mega yacht owners that we’ve never heard about doing similar things around the world today (and yesterday, and last year, and next year). We have much bigger issues to think about in this country, IMO.

Reminds me of the Taylor Swift comment about why anyone needs to drive an SUV, then gets on her Jet and flys off........

Screw SUVs though. I would like to see in traffic again, which I can no longer do since every man and woman decided they need to be 3 feet up to "feel safe" and drive in mild weather.

Apologies; I don't keep up with mega rich. Has Zuckerberg been at the forefront of global warming policies? being a spokesperson for how others need to reduce their carbon footprint, etc. I don't care about carbon cutting at Amazon, his business is separate from his personal views (and arguably, what Amazon is doing at any given time may be directed by lower level VP's).

Yep, I'd probably do the same NGL.

Bezo's yacht was so big that a bridge at the port had to be dismantled to let it pass under.

Jets are way more useful than SUVs though, maybe she's onto something.

You can smuggle a mistress onto a jet but not in an SUV.

its facebook.. bezos is amazon.

 

[scoot]

That Zuckerberg is good for the world economy. He alone has a huge footprint. I wonder how many people he employees outside of Facebook ?

 

[walterjay]

Bunker fuel? I guess he is frugal.

Ack. Clearly I won't be getting a Christmas card from either of them any time soon.

 

[RoadDukie]

I'm pretty proud...

I paid for $13.58 worth of his bunker fuel just today!

Facebook does a lot to reduce its carbon footprint. Zuckerberg blows half of that away with his yacht.
