Mark Zuckerberg Elevates Father’s Day on a $300 Million Superyacht
Mark Zuckerberg took Father’s Day to an extraordinary level by treating his parents and siblings to a lavish Mediterranean cruise aboard his $300 million superyacht, Launchpad. With a dedicated crew of 48 pampering the close-knit family, the children delighted in inflatable toys and tenders, creating unforgettable memories.
A Grand Entrance on the Megayacht
The American tech mogul made a stunning entrance on his megayacht, following in the footsteps of Amazon co-founder Jeff Bezos by establishing Launchpad as his go-to party venue. Similar to how Bezos transformed his $500 million yacht, Koru, into a celebration hub, Zuckerberg disabled his AIS to maintain a low profile during the festivities.
Celebrating Family Milestones
The Meta CEO, who previously celebrated his milestone 40th birthday on a Feadship, returned this time with photos to honor his father, Edward Zuckerberg, aboard the 387-footer. This Father’s Day coincided with his father’s 70th birthday, prompting Zuckerberg to gather his entire family, including his mother Karen, three sisters, their partners, and children, for a joyous celebration. They wore matching t-shirts that read “Ed’s kids,” while Edward proudly wore a shirt proclaiming, “I’m Ed.”
Nostalgic Family Moments
This family gathering served as a nostalgic nod to a similar celebration 35 years ago, when Zuckerberg’s grandfather Sid celebrated Father’s Day in a comparable fashion. At that time, both the luxury $300 million yacht and the $30 million support vessel, Wingman, were notably absent. However, this year both boats played significant roles in the festivities, with Zuckerberg sharing images from his yacht for the first time in three months.
Arrival and Luxurious Amenities
Zuckerberg arrived at Son Sant Joan airport on Friday night in his private jet, as tracked by the account Zuckerbergjet. The centibillionaire, worth $176 billion, was joined by his wife, Priscilla Chan, and their daughters, Maxima, August, and Aurelia. An additional 15 family members also participated, taking full advantage of Launchpad’s luxurious amenities, which include 12 guest cabins, a swimming pool, a glass observation lounge, a spacious beach club, outdoor dining areas, and multiple bars.
Fun and Festivities in Mallorca
Mark’s crew set up various inflatable toys and tenders in the stunning blue waters of Mallorca for the family to enjoy. A close-up view of the yacht revealed vibrant party decorations on the top deck, featuring bright silver balloons and stars, indicating that this was the main party area with breathtaking views.
Exceptional Service for Guests
The 20 guests aboard Launchpad were well cared for by a dedicated crew of 48, all eagerly anticipating the arrival of the businessman and his large family. This luxurious experience ensured that this Father’s Day celebration would be a cherished memory for years to come.
