Here's how much it costs to own a superyacht — and what that money is going toward.
Billionaires like Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, and Steve Jobs each spent nine figures on their megayachts.
Some superyachts have space for dozens of crewmembers, including a chef, engineer, and masseuse for the guests onboard.
If a superyacht has a support yacht — or a support superyacht, in Bezos' case — expect to pay another 10% of that boat's price annually.
"If you charter the boat for 50 days a year, it's going to help a lot," Anders Kurtén, the CEO of brokerage firm Fraser Yachts, told BI.
