Jeff Bezos, the third richest man in the world, lands on Cala Jondal in Ibiza
In a lavish spectacle, Jeff Bezos, ranked as the third wealthiest individual globally, descended on Cala Jondal in Ibiza. The tech magnate, known for his Amazon empire, was spotted with his partner, Lauren Sánchez, aboard his newly-acquired masterpiece, the superyacht ‘Koru‘.
Bezos and Sánchez’s Ibiza Arrival
The pair’s grand arrival on Wednesday was facilitated by their stunning sailboat, the centerpiece of their opulent vacation. This remarkable vessel, reportedly worth over 450 million euros, was spotted for the first time in Balearic waters during its maiden voyage a month ago. Boasting a staggering 127 meters in length and 70 meters in height, the superyacht is the second largest of its kind worldwide. Having been eagerly anticipated by Bezos, he now basks in the luxury of the vessel, joined by his girlfriend.
Bezos: Life Post-Amazon
Stepping down from his position at Amazon, Bezos ventured into space travel in 2021 through his aerospace enterprise, Blue Origin, alongside his brother. Following his divorce from Mackenzie Scott after a 26-year marriage, Bezos started a new chapter with journalist Lauren Sánchez. Their love story, which started over four years ago, sparked a media frenzy, particularly as it followed closely behind the news of Bezos’ divorce and Sánchez’s separation from her then-husband, Patrick Whitesell.
Exploring the Balearic Islands
After anchoring in the turquoise waters of the Balearic Islands, the couple took a break from sailing to enjoy a meal onshore in Cala Jondal, Ibiza.
Koru: A Nod to New Life
The Koru, symbolizing ‘new life’, took five years and roughly 500 million euros to build. Its 127-meter long body houses three masts, deploying 10,000 square meters of sail that can convert wind energy into electricity, making the Koru nearly self-sufficient. Designed as a classic schooner, it features two wooden decks, a navy blue hull, and an aluminum structure.
Ship’s Attendance and Secondary Yacht
The yacht hosts a crew of over 40, prepared to cater to a maximum of 18 guests. Due to its classic design, Koru lacks a helipad. Thus, a secondary yacht travels alongside Koru, carrying several smaller boats.
Conclusion
Jeff Bezos’ escapade to Ibiza on his impressive superyacht underscores his luxurious post-Amazon lifestyle. The tech mogul’s venture into Ibiza is certainly an event that adds a captivating touch to the picturesque backdrop of Cala Jondal.
