Gabe owns yachts worth a billion dollars. I'm sure the others are doing just fine as well.

Holy hell, he spends hundreds of millions per year just maintaining that fleet.


Damn. I do not understand owning more than one yacht. It's like private planes. Why more than one?


I would assume because moving yachts requires a lot of planning, so he'd likely have one in each location he wants to stay.

Not excusing this behaviour, but there is a reason for it.


My guess is he's treating them as collectibles. If he can afford another, different yacht from the ones he already owns, he buys it. It's a passion.


One needs more than one yacht. Once you've hosted a massive orgy, you need a clean and sanitary retreat to escape to while the first one is worked on by your cleanup crew.


Well, that makes a lot of sense. Why make games when one could just have yachts? Wonder when will the gaming community stop coddling and adoring that company.
