The boat show is in town (Miami) this weekend, but Eliot and I got a special bonus when Paul Allen’s $160 million yacht sailed by our condo’s window this morning. 

The 3o3-foot vessel is called Tatoosh. It was originally built for Craig McCaw, founder of McCaw Cellular (now part of AT&T Mobility) and Clearwire Corporation.

Allen is the co-founder of Microsoft and one of the richest people in the world. Tatoosh was purchased by Allen in 2001 for approximately $100 million. 

Allen now has his own private asset management company named Vulcan Inc. Allen also owns three sports teams: the Seattle Seahawks (NFL), the Portland Trail Blazers (NBA), and the Seattle Sounders FC franchise (MLS).

By the way, Allen also owns a 414-foot yacht, the “Octopus.” Price tag $200 million.

He’s worth $19 billion. 
Tatoosh’s features include:

Five decks

A master suite, a saloon and other rooms on the top deck

A saloon with a French limestone fireplace, a dining area, staterooms and a ladies’ powder room on the main deck

A shaded 6 feet (1.8 m) deep swimming pool with adjustable floor in depth, located aft on the main deck beneath a full overhang;[11]

A movie theatre

Facilities to transport two helicopters on the top of two decks

A 46 feet power boat and sailboats
