5 dream superyachts of the world’s tech billionaires

The exterior exudes scale and grandeur, transforming it from mere transport into a floating work of art. Its hull, in soft grey and crisp white, is enhanced by gleaming metallic accents. Expansive glass panels frame sweeping views of the ocean and nearby islands. A private helipad on deck ensures swift arrivals and departures for the owner and guests.

True to his love for modernity and comfort, Brin has fitted the yacht with an array of advanced amenities—spacious salons, a Master Suite, dining and entertainment rooms, a spa, a gym and even an outdoor cinema. The interiors blend grey, white and beige with high-grade wood and metal, creating an airy, open feel. Every room faces the sea through large windows, ensuring the ocean is always in view.

Owned by one of the world’s eight richest individuals, Dragonfly sits in a league of its own. In harbours around the globe, its towering form gliding across the water is a sight to behold.

Crafted by Dutch shipbuilder Oceanco, Koru measures 127 metres and was completed in April 2023 at an estimated cost of USD 500 million. Its triple-mast design, dark navy hull and silver-white accents evoke the romance of the high seas. Standing proud against the horizon, Koru embodies the meeting of modern innovation and time-honoured craftsmanship.

The superyacht’s elongated hull, dramatic sails and generous outdoor deck are complemented by a glass-bottomed pool amidships, perfect for relaxing while gazing into the depths below. At night, a sophisticated LED system illuminates the vessel without losing the ocean’s natural hues.

Inside, a palette of soft neutrals—grey, ivory and beige—is offset by polished metals, rare woods and marble. The yacht’s living spaces are arranged across seven principal areas, each fully equipped for the most luxurious voyages.

Since her completion, billionaire Jeff Bezos’ yacht Koru has graced some of the world’s most glamorous destinations. In June 2025, she carried Bezos and Lauren Sánchez to their wedding, a voyage marking their love story. The vessel has also been spotted at playgrounds of the elite, from Saint-Tropez in France to the sunlit shores of Capri and the vibrant nights of Ibiza.

Launchpad is the pride of Meta billionaire Mark Zuckerberg. Built by the acclaimed Dutch yard Feadship, she embodies the seamless blend of cutting-edge engineering and refined aesthetics. With an estimated build cost of USD 300 million, Launchpad is a testament to the stature and fortune of her owner.

Finished in a soft grey accented with gleaming black, Launchpad is designed with sweeping lines and generous decks, embracing open-air living and uninterrupted sea views.

Inside, every room radiates ease and indulgence, making her a trusted companion on Zuckerberg’s voyages to distant shores. In 2024, his 40th birthday was marked on board while anchored in Panama. By 2025, Launchpad had been seen gliding through the Mediterranean, and even making the long journey from the US to Norway for heliskiing adventures. Wherever she drops anchor, her presence turns heads.

Once known as Kismet and owned by Indian billionaire Shahid Khan in 2014, this 95.2-metre superyacht was acquired by former Google CEO Eric Schmidt in 2023 and renamed Whisper.

Valued at around USD 200 million, Whisper boasts a commanding hull and clean, fluid lines. Her dark grey exterior, offset by natural wood and polished metal accents, strikes a balance between modern elegance and classic charm.

Her broad outdoor decks come with a long swimming pool, inviting sunbathing terraces, and open spaces designed for sea-gazing in comfort. High-end loungers, al fresco dining tables and well-placed seating create a setting that invites leisure.

Inside, rich materials set the tone. Art Deco flourishes meet Persian influences, shaping warm, inviting rooms. The yacht offers eight cabins, including a vast Master Suite with a king-size bed, a private bathroom featuring a Jacuzzi and a walk-in shower.

On Whisper, Schmidt has enjoyed a poetic itinerary from Roman-style soirées to languid Mediterranean afternoons on deck, and intimate dinners in Fiskardo, Greece, each adding to the tapestry of his travels.

Constructed by German yard Nobiskrug, Mogambo stands out for her bold yet alluring profile. While not the longest on the water, her elegance ensures she commands attention wherever she sails. Beneath her beauty lies substance: a range of 5,000 nautical miles and a Quantum Zero Speed stabilisation system that promises comfort whether under way or at anchor.

Her hull, dressed in deep grey and trimmed with silver, is punctuated by sweeping glass panels, a visual cue to her owner’s power. Sleek curves meet sharp detailing, drawing eyes across the horizon.

Step inside Mogambo and the mood shifts to understated opulence. Black oak, limestone and embossed leather combine in a palette of grey and white to create a warm, welcoming interior. In 2022, Jan Koum oversaw a meticulous refit, preserving her beauty while elevating her performance and enhancing her features.
