Jeff Bezos' most expensive investment is a $500 million custom superyacht that's the largest in the world

Jeff Bezos is one of the richest men in the world. The Amazon founder, who is worth an estimated $245 billion, shelled out $237 million on his Miami compound where he currently resides with his wife, Lauren Sánchez. And when he moved there, the sale of his Seattle home was the most expensive home ever sold in Washington State at $63 million. 

But the fourth-richest man in the world spent even more on his superyacht—more than double, to be exact. He broke another record when he commissioned his superyacht, Koru, in 2018 from Dutch yacht builder Oceanco. (Oceanco is owned by another billionaire, Valve’s billionaire cofounder Gabe Newell, who received his own $500 million superyacht just last week.)
