It may come as no surprise that Jeff Bezos spared no expense on his gigantic mega yacht worth an eye-watering $500 million.
The Amazon founder, 59, has been island hopping with his girlfriend Lauren Sanchez ever since he handed over a cool half a billion dollars in exchange for the yacht, named Koru.
And the massive, 417-foot vessel appears to even have a wooden figurehead that bears a striking resemblance to Sanchez.
The sculpture is featured on the nose of Koru, which Bezos affectionately named himself.
Koru is Māori for loop often found on silver necklaces, symbolizing new beginnings.
It seems as though the symbol means a lot to the couple, who have been dating since 2019, as Bezos had previously shared photos of Koru on his Instagram.

On New Year’s Day, the multi-billionaire posted a carousel of snaps from his yacht party.
“The new year is also a great time to take stock and focus on personal growth, renewal, rebirth, and paying careful attention to each moment of your life,” he captioned the post. “The good and the bad. All of it. Celebrate and grow.”
The yacht boasts three towering masts as well as three decks, one of which features a sprawling swimming pool, according to Boat International.

“Koru” costs about $25 million a year to run and can accommodate 18 guests — and requires a crew of 40 sailors.

Koru will join a fleet of super-yachts, helicopters and planes already owned by Bezos and Sanchez.
Bezos’ mega boat sparked controversy last year after it was reported that Dutch officials would have to dismantle the historic Koningshaven Bridge because the yacht wouldn’t be able to pass through.
But after an uproar from residents and local leaders, officials decided that the plan was too farfetched and towed the vessel from its construction location to another shipyard in a nearby town without its masts.
