LOL.....look at the second picture and in the center you see the van again on the yacht. Look at the size of Lady Moura in comparison.

Re: Living the High Life
Ellison does not own Pelorus or Le Grand Bleu. They are both owned by Roman Abramovich. Actually, Le Grand Bleu was recently sold or given away to one of his close associates, Eugene Shvidler. Le Grand Bleu was initially built for Craig McCaw.
Roman Abramovich also owns Ecstasea (282') and Sussurro (162'), both fast yachts with gas turbine power built by Feadship and both with interior styling by Terence Disdale who also designed the interior of Pelorus. Roman is rumoured to be building another massive yacht at the moment, with a price tag of 200+ million. The good thing is that the guy actually has taste and all yachts that he owns are masterpieces.
Ronin does belong to Ellison but she is for sale (at US$ 39 750 000). His main yacht is Rising Sun, a 452' Lurssen built in 2004 and designed by Martin Francis. Larry actually regrets making her so big as he cannot get into any of the nice ports around the Med. It's either on anchor or he must sleep in the commercial ports, next to tankers and container ships. A bit of a bummer then...
BTW, when Huizenga bought Greg Norman's yacht, the asking price was US$ 55 million. He renamed the yacht Floridian and took off the sportfisher in the back because he wanted a full-size helipad instead. The yacht is now for sale at US$ 70 million. Needless to say, the yacht is worth nowhere near that figure. It simply does not have the pedigree and sophistication of a Lurssen or a Feadship.
