Google co-founder buys $45 million yacht
Posted on January 11, 2011 ShareThis Google co-founder Larry Page recently plunked down $45 million for his first yacht.

The 193-foot superyacht, Senses, features a small helicopter pad, a gym, split-level sun decks, sheltered and exposed dining areas, 10 luxury suites, a crew of 14 and interiors by French designer Philippe Starck.

Page, who will turn 38 in March, is worth $15 billion. He bought the yacht from New Zealand brewery heir Sir Douglas Meyer.

"On any summer day in Sag Harbor, Page's new boat will be dwarfed by boats 300 feet or longer," yacht broker Chris Dowling at Bruce Tait & Associates in Sag Harbor, N.Y., told the New York Post.

"It's little," he added.

Google had no comment on the purchase.

Chris Dowling. What a tool bag. Thats a way of telling a young guy with alot of money he still doesnt matter. Of course he is buying the yacht to try and fit in with the power elite so I guess in the end, its hubris that get ya. Thirty years from now he too will probably be turning his back on someone new. Arent the super rich just a little .......Weird? Always really trying to say......Look at me!
