Dan Snyder buys 224-foot “super” yacht...
Leading the NFC East at the quarter point in the season, Danny-boy decides to celebrate winning the Super Bowl...

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/reliable-source/post/dan-snyder-buys-224-foot-super-yacht/2011/10/04/gIQAjSG1LL_blog.html?hpid=z4

Redskins owner Dan Snyder has added another jewel to his crown: The Lady Anne, a 224-foot “superyacht” purchased for the bargain price of $70 million, give or take a few million.

The sale is big news in the luxury yacht market: The Lady Anne is one of the 100 largest yachts in the world, according to Power & Motoryacht magazine, and one of the most beautiful. Big news for Washington, too: Despite all the multimillionaires in the nation’s capital, few have yachts — and none with the extravagant luxury of the Lady Anne.

Think Bond movie, or a sun-drenched love boat for Jay-Z and Beyonce.

The Lady Anne “epitomizes opulent modern living,” boasts Burgess Yachts, the London-based company that offers charters on the boat, on its Web site. “A magnificent spiralling five-storey staircase leads you to the spacious decks, be it the comfort of the main salon, the fabulously appointed theatre room or the light and airy upper salon for a pre-dinner cocktail.” The master suite has “rare, pure white triple A-grade Thassos marble.” The yacht features a library, gym and six staterooms that can accommodate 16 people (not counting the crew of 18).

2. If I had wealth like that I certainly wouldn't flaunt it,
and certainly not with a wasteful toy like that. Not in these times. It's not smart.

But then, well, that's Snyder.

3. A-grade Thassos marble...this is a typo, since it was installed in Snyder's boat...
It's Grade A Asshole marble.
