Supreme Sacred Ring, Carefree Tycoon!
In the 80s, a good-quality old Hainan Huanghuali round-backed armchair from the Qing Dynasty could be yours for just twenty yuan. Now, two million yuan o...
"Uh..." Lin Dan scratched his head, "I don't know about that, but I do know the price of this Rising Sun. Ellison spent a full $250 million to build this super yacht. The annual maintenance cost of this yacht is as high as $13 million."
This price made Yang Jing shake his head secretly.
For those top billionaires with a net worth of tens of billions of dollars, it is not a problem to maintain such a super yacht, but I definitely cannot afford such a yacht now. Of course, if I take over the Dragon Fund in the future, a yacht like the Rising Sun will not be qualified.
Well, it seems that the Eclipse, which is worth 1.5 billion US dollars, owned by the Russian tycoon Abramovich, is similar...
He shook his head, shaking off those temporarily unreliable thoughts, waved at Lin Dan, and the two continued to walk along the trail on the east side of the bridge.
At this time, there were more people on the bridge, some were tourists watching the sunrise, and some were locals exercising.
The Golden Gate Bridge is toll-free, but there is a toll station on the north side of the bridge. Vehicles entering the city from the north side of the strait from the south are charged a bridge toll of six dollars per vehicle.
This price would be quite high in China, and this bridge has been collecting fees for 81 years, so the construction cost has been recovered long ago.
If we look at it from this perspective, the bridge tolls in the United States are much higher than those in China...
After walking for a distance, the sun gradually rose higher, the temperature began to rise, some mist on the sea in the distance gradually dissipated, and three islands, two large and one small, on the sea surface of the bay area gradually revealed their shapes.
Yang Jing pointed at the smallest island and asked, "Is that Devil's Island? Wasn't the movie 'The Rock' starring Nicolas Cage more than 20 years ago based on this island?"
Lin Dan nodded and said, "Yes, that island is Devil's Island. But it was not called Devil's Island before. Pelican Island was its original name. But later Philip Grosser was convicted for refusing to serve in the military during World War I. He compiled his experience behind bars into a book, named "Uncle Sam's Devil's Island", which exposed the horror and darkness of the prison at that time to the public, and made Pelican Island gain the famous name of 'Devil's Island'."
After a pause, Lin Dan pointed to two other relatively large islands and said, "The island in the north is Angel Island, which has now become a state park. The island in the south is Treasure Island, but it is an artificial island. Next to it is the real island, Yerba Buena Island, which is a natural island. But compared to the fame of Treasure Island, Yerba Buena Island is much less famous."
Seeing that Yang Jing seemed quite interested in these islands, Lin Dan continued, "Actually, speaking of islands, the Ellison we were talking about just now also owns the most expensive island in the world."
"You mean the island of Lanai in Hawaii? I've heard about it. It seems that Ellison spent $600 million to buy the island?"
"It's not 600 million, it's 610 million. And he didn't buy all the ownership of Lanai, he only bought 98% of it. And after buying Lanai, Ellison invested more than 500 million US dollars to build the island."
Yang Jing shook his head again and said, "Compared to yachts, this kind of private island is a more expensive toy."
Lin Dan obviously disagreed with Yang Jing's statement, "Brother Yang, you are wrong if you think so. Although buying a private island is expensive, once you really buy an island, you will be the king of the island. Moreover, there are not many private islands in the world that can exceed 300 million US dollars. There are only two, and most private islands are priced at around 100 million US dollars. Brother, I suggest you buy an island and a super yacht. Tsk tsk, that kind of life will definitely be very comfortable..."
Yang Jing chuckled, "Linzi, how about you lend me some money first? Not a lot, maybe 10 or 800 million first. I promise that after buying the private island, I will buy a super yacht."
Lin Dan's originally sunny face suddenly darkened...
I guess he was complaining in his mind at this time - do you still want a Bilian? Ten billion or eight billion Zimbabwean dollars?
