He has not even set foot on the yacht. So how come the gossip?<\/p>\n<p>It started when the superyacht\u00a0 Flying Fox was seen at anchor off Dat\u00e7a, an on-trend tourist destination in Turkey, in early July. Was Bezos was aboard?, people asked. Paparazzi were dispatched. Maybe a new girlfriend in tow (no pun intended), given his recent split from his long-suffering wife.<br \/>\nBezos&#8217; work ethic is legendary.<\/p>\n<p>That the yacht is owned by Bezos has been the subject of speculation since 2017, when L\u00fcrssen began work on the &#8220;Project Redwood.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Journalist Yashar Ali tweeted it was Bezos&#8217; new yacht, but then thought better of it and deleted the tweet. Too late. The rumor had fled the coop. Twitter was alive to the sound of tweets. The rumor was traced back to a jewelry designer who wished she had waited an extra two seconds before pressing send.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"rp5NzHPqRHJXphLLxvcEpQ\" class=\"gie-slideshow\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.co.uk\/detail\/1161864458\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'rp5NzHPqRHJXphLLxvcEpQ',sig:'ZkV39msIXnSVtgXYcCJ2ZQI6novFLHFiggXlX4FxHaA=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1161864458,1161864466,1156661851',caption: true ,tld:'co.uk',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Photos of the Flying Fox began circulating on Twitter Saturday, with the name of Bezos attached.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang=\"en-gb\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Amazon workers collapse from heat exhaustion in warehouses where the heat index exceeds 100\u00b0 F so that Jeff Bezos can buy a new yacht <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/6nL1OXPDFg\">pic.twitter.com\/6nL1OXPDFg<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Sam (@halaljew) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/halaljew\/status\/1157701605568995329?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">3 August 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Not only Amazon workers were getting hot under the collar.

Unless he thinks it does not look good for Amazon.\u00a0 The price tag of 400 million dollars excludes almost everyone else on the planet and those who can afford this likely or not have a yacht already.
