Crazy Eric Schmidt, His Yacht Prices Are Insaaane!
theodp writes "After languishing on the market, the price of Google Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt's Lone Ranger expedition yacht was cut from $20,000,000 to a mere $14,000,000 (sales brochure). Still no takers for the vessel, so the former pride of the Schmidt Ocean Institute — which can travel an amazing 31,000 miles at 12 knots thanks to a fuel capacity of 1.3 million liters — will be auctioned "as is" on April 20th at the Antibes Yacht Show, with bid estimates ranging from EUR 3 million to EUR 10 million (auction brochure). 'Lone Ranger and her truly astonishing story will appeal to a new generation of luxury yacht owner,' the sales brochure notes. 'The yacht epitomizes low key luxury, but most importantly offers the ideal platform for anyone wanting to explore the farthest flung corners of the world with their family.' And you can buy it just in time for Earth Day gift giving!"
Who, exactly, pays more taxes than they have to? Feel free to, the donation information is here.
Right because every average Joe citizen has the ability to engage in international tax evasion that the mega-rich and corporations partake in constantly ... it's about using your status as an international entity to avoid taxes, you shortsighted puppet.
Blah Blah Blah the tax loopholes should be taught to me in high school and lawyers should come to my doorstep offering me money to set up offshore corps. STFU you lazy prole. If you want a slice of cake you have to make your own way to the dessert table.
