There’s a lot of money to made in drugs manufacturing. Especially drugs, being distributed by medical means.

He is a Swiss Pharmaceuticals mogul, a former World Cup yachting competitor with an estimated fortune between £5billion and £7billion pounds (actually it’s 6.8billion). She is a former UK beauty queen.

Together, power couple Ernesto Bertarelli (the world’s 81st richest man) and Kirsty Roper have built the Vava II luxury cruise liner boat. Plymouth boat-maker Devonport Yachts made the super-yacht in secret, under the name Project 55. The 314 feet luxury yacht costs £250,000 to even fill the boat’s gas tank. Really it is a luxury float gas tank – an extremely expensive one.

“It was built by 200 craftsmen and drew a crowd of onlookers as the couple sailed off for the Caribbean on Friday.

The remarkable feat of engineering features a fold-down beach club and a pool which can be varied in depth to cater for guest preferences, opulent guest cabins four boats to ferry passengers to shore.”

How romantic. It looks good. And there’s tonne’s of cash to made in pharmaceutical drugs, obviously.
