If you’re a fan of Shark Tank, high definition movies, or see independent films at Landmark Theaters … and would like to see where your money goes … here’s one place. This is Mark Cuban's 288-foot yacht, Fountainhead. He owns those businesses and this boat.
Palm Tree Charter’s Capt. John shot this picture of Fountainhead, anchored off Cruz Bay last week.
The $120+-million super yacht is named in honor of author/philosopher Ayn Rand. Her novel, The Fountainhead, “was incredibly motivating to me,” the multibillionaire has said. “It encouraged me to think as an individual, take risks to reach my goals, and responsibility for my successes and failures.”
The yacht took the Dutch builders three years to complete. It was launched in 2011. Onboard, there is a movie room. basketball court, and a swimming pool . A staff of 35 maintains Fountainhead and Cuban.
There have been no reported sightings of Cuban on island.
How about the 457 foot “Rising Sun” anchored in Round Bay on the 3rd of March…Once owend by Larry Ellison, now by David Geffen!
So Mark Cuban’s yacht has a history to tell.
I would love to stay on that yacht in the future. 🙂
I can’t help but see the irony on quoting Ayn Rand with a very rich person…she is hardly someone I would use as an inspiration for my ethical decisions.
I completely disagree…
And to think – my husband & I just want enough money to get airfare to SJ & a boat ride to the BVI’s. Wish I could get a job on that yacht. He’s a fortunate man – love him on Shark Tank. Hope he will be happy & healthy for a long time.
ayn rand was awesome!
Ayn Rand was a fanatical anti-Communist and more than a little paranoid. Do a little reading about her before you heap praise on her head.
Wow the fact that there are people that think there is something wrong with being anti-communist is frightening…enough said….
