My ex-teamlead owns a yacht (if he didn't sell it). The catch is that yacht is worth about $40 thousands, not $4 millions.

Also there was a person in USSR who built a yacht and circumnavigated the Earth on that, not everyone who do own a yach own that luxury slab of floating gold

That's awfully cheap for a yacht. Did it float?

Somehow the response got lost 🤔

It did float even though it was not new and not spacious. Then again, there are sail sport yachts that may be even cheaper but can't be used as a home or to navigate an open water.
