Rupert Murdoch has just taken delivery of his brand new yacht. And it’s not just a luxury yacht, it’s a luxury SAIL yacht. That means you can cruise around the world on wind alone. How rad is that? The name of the boat is “Vertigo.” What’s more, there is a chance that YOU could own it!

The owner of News Corporation doesn’t seem to be perturbed by the scandal that has exposed his media empire’s work culture. It is now common knowledge that this incident resulted in the 168-year-old ‘News of the World’ newspaper to shut down its operations, primarily because of the damage it caused to the people whose phones it is alleged to have tapped and manipulated. But Rupert Murdoch seems to have already put all this behind him, and continued to engage in luxurious celebrations of his family members. The 220 ft vessel in question was earlier owned by Leonardo DiCaprio, and finally Mr. Murdoch bought it from him. The yacht is known to have prominent names like Philippe Briand & Christian Liaigre associated with it for the designing of the interior and exterior. The engines are twin C-32 Caterpillar which generate close to 1,044 KW of power each, and enables the vessel to travel at speeds in the region of 20 knots. On the outset, one can see the vast open deck, ideal of sunbathing and soaking in the outside beauty of the quite waters. Also, there are several luxury suites and a swimming pool to enjoy oneself in.

Estimates as to the price of the yacht are around the $110 million mark.
