Rick Reilly tipped me off to this Monster owned by Paul Allen, owner of the Seattle Seahawks (he also helped to start a fairly successful software company a long time ago). Reilly's point is that these owners are upset that they're not making enough money hence why the CBA is in jeopardy. The Octopus is 414 feet long and it's the 11th largest superyacht. It has TWO helipads (and two helicopters), jet skis, a pair of submarines (one is remote control to observe the ocean floor).
Allen also owns the Tatoosh: but that's only a 303-footer:
Tatoosh can also carry two helicopters and sports a 40-ft power boat to just get around with once you're at port.
Everyone should read Sports Guy's column too...he takes a serious swing at the owners and it's really funny. This is a LOT of rich people going after a LOT of money.
