Arthur's new love is not a new girlfriend - he and Emma Watson are still in love.

In fact, this new love of Arthur is not even human, but a giant private yacht that costs more than 500 million euros.

Named "Samsara" by Arthur, the world's largest and most expensive private yacht, is currently under construction, and on December 22 this year, Abu will receive this Christmas gift.

The 170-metre-long megayacht has a steel full displacement hull built by the German industrial giant ThyssenKrupp AG's Blohm+Voss shipyard in Hamburg and designed hermidas_atabeyki the interiors by renowned designer terrence_disdale with a gross tonnage of around 13,000 tons.

The yacht is spacious and comfortable, with a total of 6,000 square feet of space and 11 staterooms and standard cabins for guests to enjoy like royalty. She has created the ultimate in luxury, with a liftable helipad on board that can accommodate two helicopters. There are also two large swimming pools, Jacuzzi hot tubs and discotheques on deck, which are the perfect place for recreation, and 3 launch boats and a small submarine can meet the owner's needs. The yacht also has an alert system and a missile defense system installed on it.

In addition, the yacht has a high security factor, and the windows are made of bulletproof glass and protective steel plates to effectively prevent rampant pirate sneak attacks.

Arthur was also involved in the design and construction of the yacht. The newly completed yacht will undergo sea trials in Germany and Norway at the end of this month. The experienced Arthur has also customized a number of motor yachts before this, including legrand_bleu, Pelorus, Sussurro and Estasea, creating a veritable "private fleet".

And in order to protect privacy from the prying eyes of the paparazzi, Arthur also installed a set of the world's first anti-paparazzi "protective shield" on his luxury yacht, which can automatically detect the cameras of nearby candid photographers and emit direct laser lenses, thereby destroying the imaging function of the other party's photos.

On the "Samsara", there are two helipads and two swimming pools, the hull and glass of the "Samsara" are capable of withstanding small missile attacks, and even small submarines with first aid. The 12-tonne Samsara has a turbocharged engine of up to 20,000 hp and an annual maintenance fee of no less than £5 million.

Because Arthur has been secretly photographed swimming with his girlfriend Emma Watson in big pants, the most distinctive high-tech of "Samsara" is its world's first anti-paparazzi candid photography system.

Once the infrared laser on board detects the charge-coupled device on the camera in the nearby sea, which is the "eye" of the digital camera, the anti-candid camera system will fire a laser beam to it, so that the photos taken by the paparazzi are bright and cannot be imaged.

In addition, it will be sent to France to install anti-missile systems, and the ship is expected to employ at least 60 employees, including a security team made up of former French mercenaries. It is understood that the estimated cost of the "Samsara" three years ago was 317 million pounds, and now it is close to completion and has reached 724 million pounds.

£724 million, where did Arthur get so much money?

If it had been two or three years ago, "Samsara" would definitely bankrupt Arthur's family, but now, "only" 700 million pounds will not break Arthur's bones.

In Forbes magazine's 2009 list of the world's richest people, published in March this year, Microsoft co-founder and chairman Bill Gates regained the title of the world's richest man, but his assets fell by $18 billion from the same period last year.

According to Forbes' rankings, the average net worth of the richest people on this year's list is $3 billion, a decrease of 23% from the previous year, according to Forbes' list. This year, a total of 793 people made the list, down from 1,125 last year. The United States is still home to the world's richest people, with 45% of the richest people on the list coming from the United States, accounting for 44% of the world's richest assets. In the past year, a total of 656 billionaires have seen their assets shrink, but 44 have seen their assets grow.

Among them, including Arthur Jack Walker.

In 2008, it would have been a long time to find Arthur on Forbes magazine's list of the richest people in the world, but this year, although Arthur's name is not as easy to find as Bill Gates and Warren Buffett, it is also visible at a glance - because Arthur's name appears on the first page.

1 - Bill Gates;

2 - Warren Buffett;

3 - Carlos-Slim-Elu family;

4 - Larry Ellison;

5 - The Invar-Kamprad family;

6 - Carl Albachet;

7 - Arthur Jack Walker!

Yes, Arthur ranked 7th on the 2009 Forbes list of the world's richest people, with a net worth of $19.8 billion.

In Arthur's $19.8 billion net worth, except for the $700 million Blackburn Club, almost all of his net worth comes from investing in Internet companies.

In the IT world, Arthur is known as "one of the most powerful investors on the planet".

His approach to investing can be described in four words – "simple and crude".

From 2000 to 02, the dot-com bubble crisis swept the world, and Google was also killed. When Arthur, who was chatting in London at the time, heard about this, his first reaction was that the opportunity had come!

So, he mobilized all his connections and raised a fund to invest in Google.

The money arrived, but things didn't go well!

Although Google was really short of money at the time, in Silicon Valley, it was difficult to talk about taking money from foreign laymen at that time. So, when Arthur called Google with $200 million in his arms, he heard "we're not interested in your money."

And Arthur is really persistent, he must invest his money in Google!

So he bought a plane ticket and flew to the United States, and finally got to Sergey Brin in Rio, the Starbucks next door to Google!

As an investor, Arthur offered such a condition: 200 million for 2%" -- 200 million US dollars to buy 2% of the shares, and neither preferred shares nor board seats, all voting rights were given to the CEO, a pure money transaction.

When Sergey Brin heard this, he was stunned, this was a golden egg falling from the sky, and quickly took Arthur to meet Larry Page and quickly signed an investment agreement.

After all, it would be really stupid to not sign such an investment agreement.

As soon as this matter was completed, it exploded in the investment circle. People are laughing at Arthur for being mindless, ignoring basic common sense, and giving up the return that an investor should have!

Unexpectedly, such negative comments made Arthur quite well-known in the United States. Not only has he won a lot of friends, but he has also been invited to invest in other Internet future stars, and the amount is more than hundreds of millions of dollars!

From the social gaming site Zynga to the early group buying site Groupon, from Facebook, WeChat service Twitter to the professional LinkedIn, all these internet companies have opened their doors to him.

Arthur invests in these companies in the same way that he invests in Google: he pays a high price and doesn't have any decision-making power.

Stirred up by Arthur, the founders of other companies in Silicon Valley also had to bargain with investors and demand the same treatment!

That's when people realized that Arthur had used a new type of investment method:

First, it seems stupid to give up decision-making power, but it has an immediate benefit, that is, you can invest in any project.

Second, when others invest, they have to choose a side first, because after you invest in a company, it is difficult to invest in competitors.

But Arthur didn't have that problem.

So Arthur invested in both Google and Baidu, Facebook and Twitter, Alibaba and JD.com, although these companies pinched each other in the dark, but the CEO and Arthur are buddies, and it sounds a bit like a snipe competing for profit.

European Internet investment experts said: This is a cautious investor, he invested in soaring stocks is not too early, he did this to avoid risks.

Arthur's seemingly casual investments are actually very particular, which can be summarized in three basic principles:

First, it prefers new concept high-tech companies;

Second: generally do not invest in early-stage startups;

Third: high investment, either if you don't make a move, you will make a big deal.

Arthur said: To make the company to this extent, the founders are not vegetarians. Instead of tearing up in the boardroom, it's better to let them toss on their own.

Therefore, in just 2 years, Arthur basically voted for all the technology giants in Silicon Valley.

Of course, Arthur, who has a keen sense of smell, can't miss the big market of China!

This year, Arthur invested $500 million in Alibaba and JD.com!

The end result?

Arthur acquired an 8.7 percent stake in Alibaba and an 11.2 percent stake in JD.com.

In fact, Arthur was able to take advantage of the rebirth of the first generation to enter Google and Facebook in advance, and obtain up to a few percent of the shares of these companies at a value close to equal to zero, but will there be a butterfly effect?

The answer is yes.

There is no need to doubt it, because this is the inferior nature of human beings.

After receiving a large amount of investment, many company startups may not be able to maintain high morale, and Arthur does not want his appearance to make Mark Zuckerberg and others obsolete the public, so even if he enters the market late, he does not care.

Arthur didn't want the $1 million he invested to become worthless, nor did he expect the $1 million to earn him a thousandfold benefit, he just asked that the $100 million he invested could bring him dozens of times the return in the future.

After all, 100 million becomes 5 billion, which is definitely legendary, isn't it?

In this way, Arthur, who is not greedy and steady, has become the seventh place on the list of the world's richest people in '09, and next year, maybe this position will continue to move forward by one or two until it replaces the name at the top of the list. (To be continued.) )
