given the number of hyper rich people buying these super yachts, I am thinking its not just about vanity or wanting to cruise the seas with other billionaires. I think those folks know that there is a good chance they will piss off the public to the point where they wont be safe unless they can head out the high seas until things calm down. no doubt they can carry enough food and water to last for a long time, and probably have some fairly powerful defensive capability. of course they could instead choose to not be greedy assholes who make the lives of millions miserable.
