"The holidays are all about time with family and friends. For some of us, that means pullout couches and six to a bathroom. For others, it's a villa in St. Barts or a ski house in Aspen. Now that the end of the year is upon us, the uber-wealthy are deploying their private jets and superyachts and heading to expensive destinations to enjoy vacations - and often the company of other billionaires."
"Many of the world's largest yachts have already sailed to warmer waters. Mark Zuckerberg's yacht, Launchpad, is in the Gulf of California, not far from Cabo San Lucas. On the other side of the continent, Jeff Bezos's Koru, David Geffen's Rising Sun, and Eric Schmidt's Whisper are among the dozens of yachts floating in the Caribbean Sea. Once their billionaire owners are aboard, several of these ships will likely head to St. Barts to celebrate New Year's Eve."
