Billionaire Jeff Bezos' new yacht is ready after 5 years of construction and is expected to be the longest vessel in the world. The CEO of Amazon started the construction of the ship, named Koru, in 2018 and to make it a reality, an amount of 500 million dollars was spent.

However, numbers are not a problem for Bezos as he is the third richest man on the planet with an estimated net worth of $115.4 billion.

Formerly known as Y721 or Project 72 1, the yacht now bears the name Koru which means "new beginnings" in Maori.
The mega-yacht is said to be delivered to Bezos within the next two months.

The vessel is 127 meters long, with triple masts reaching 70 meters, making the sailing yacht almost half the size of the Pyramid of Giza.
