Jeff Bezos bought a $75 million support ship with a helipad for Lauren Sánchez but his $234 million Miami estate won’t let her land there

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos has a $500 million megayacht, a $75 million support vessel with its own helipad and a pilot wife who loves flying helicopters.

Bezos famously owns the $500 million sailing yacht Koru, a 416-foot Oceanco vessel whose towering three masts leave no room for a conventional helipad.
