"Yachts are very expensive to keep up, as we all know especially if we hang with billionaires. And you can tell Mr. Allen really knows how to live -- so if you’ve got it, it’s hard to resist, no? The yacht upkeep rule of thumb is approximately ten percent of the cost of the boat on delivery. That would put Mr. Allen’s annuals for Octopus somewhere in the neighborhood of $20 million or about $38.4 grand a week. In another words: another fortune ..Mr. Allen, as many know, is also a major rock and roll fan and a Jimi Hendrix aficionado to the point where he’s accumulated much of the late great rocker’s earthly possessions which are stored in museum like surroundings."
