Google Founder Buys $35 Million Luxury Yacht

According to the New Zealand Herald, billionaire Google co-founder Larry Page just treated himself to a new luxury yacht, with a price tag of around $35 million.

The yacht in question, Senses, was actually on display at the Monaco Yacht Show and caused quite the sensation with its sexy and sleek 59.2 meters. The ship was originally built back in 1999 at the Schweers Shipyard, with a wonderful interior designed by none other than Philippe Starck himself.

Amenities of the Senses include helipad, jacuzzi, fitness center, full bar of course, five guest cabins and can accommodate a crew of 14. The masters suite is a whopping 12m wide and features a walk-in wardrobe.

Well, you have to know how to treat yourself sometimes, dont you, Page?
