Late Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen’s mega-yacht is for sale. Here’s how much it costs

The late Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen’s 400-foot mega-yacht is up for sale.

The price: A cool $325.5 million.

Dubbed the “Octopus,” it’s one of the world’s largest boats, and costs a whopping four times more than what Allen paid for his NBA franchise, the Portland Trailblazers.

So what do you get for a third of a billion dollars? Two elevators. Two helipads. A pool.

Plus, you’ll get a private deck (which comes with a bar), a hot tub (in case you get tire of the pool) and an al fresco dining area for hosting dinner parties on the sea. But that’s not all.

Kanye West, Kim Kardashian Reportedly Buy Enormous Wyoming Ranch

When Kim Kardashian West was interviewed — by her husband, naturally — for the cover story in this month’s issue of Vogue Arabia, she was asked to describe where she sees herself in ten years. The L.A. native’s answer was somewhat surprising: “living on a ranch in Wyoming,” she said, “and occasionally going to Palm Springs and our home in Los Angeles.”

Location: Cody, Wyo.
Price: $14 million (list)
Size: 3,000+ acres with a private lake and multiple structures

As it turns out, the reality TV superstar-turned-entrepreneur-turned-law student wasn’t just whistlin’ Dixie. According to TMZ, the Wests have finalized the purchase of an astonishingly pristine spread, the so-called Monster Lake Ranch near the picturesque town of Cody, in northwest Wyoming less than 50 miles from the eastern edge of Yellowstone National Park.

Matthew Perry’s $35 Million Penthouse is Most Expensive in Los Angeles

Actor Matthew Perry’s lavish Los Angeles penthouse hit the market Friday—as the most expensive condominium for sale in Los Angeles.

The “Friends” star is asking $35 million for his newly renovated “mansion in the sky,” as the listing agents Greg Holcomb and Cassandra Petersen, both of Compass, put it.

The four-bedroom aerie tops a star-studded tower in Century City and certainly spans the size of a Los Angeles mansion, at nearly 9,300 square feet. The apartment includes an in-unit home theater and four expansive terraces.

Mr. Perry, 49, bought the full-floor condo in 2017 for $20 million, according to property records, and has spent the past two years giving the interiors a chic facelift, according to listing agents.

Warriors Owner Joe Lacob Scores $29 Million Malibu Mansion

Fresh off back-to-back NBA championships, professional basketball’s Golden State Warriors of San Francisco have been described by reputable news outlets as the “greatest dynasty in the modern era” and as “absurd collection of talent.” Perhaps to celebrate those supreme accolades, majority owner Joe Lacob and his wife Nicole Curran have girded their loins and charged away from their longtime Silicon Valley, Calif. residence to the seaside city of Malibu, where they’ve laid out $29.1 million for a decidedly decadent oceanfront mansion on desirable Carbon Beach.

Before becoming Warriors majority owner in 2010, Lacob was (and still is) an exceptionally successful Silicon Valley venture capitalist. For over 30 years, he has held the rank of partner at vaunted firm Kleiner Perkins, where his investments have centered primarily around firms involved in medical tech, life sciences and energy.
