What it costs to own a yacht (explained by a monster)

A $10 million yacht doesn't cost $10 million. That's just the entry fee. The real bill arrives every year after — roughly a million dollars annually, whether the yacht sails or sits parked in a marina. That's around $3,000 burned every single morning, while the owner sleeps. In this video, we break down the famous 10% rule of yacht ownership and the four costs that eat superyacht owners alive: full-time crews paid year-round for two weeks of use, fuel bills that can burn hundreds of liters per hour, marina berths that cost more than city apartments, and saltwater repairs where everything marked "marine" costs triple. Then the cruel part: after feeding it millions, the yacht is worth less every year. It pays you nothing and sends you invoices. We also answer the real question: why do rich people keep buying them anyway? Charter offsets, liveaboard math, and the honest answer — a yacht is proof you can afford to lose millions. It's not an investment. It's a flex with an engine. Everything explained so simply a 6-year-old could follow it. One purple monster, four hungry mouths, and the most beautiful way to destroy money ever invented.
