He Bark It is an impressive 125 -meter slope schooner and 17.2 meters of manga (width) that does not go unnoticed when it approaches the ground. However, despite being considered the second largest sailboat in the world, the Bark It is far from infusing fear among the population from the places where it hit. We cannot say the same of its owner.
The presence of Jeff Bezos in the area alerted its population so much that the local government had to make a statement to reassure the population: “You cannot Buy properties in Montserrat.”
A Cruise for the Caribbean. Jeff Bezos and his fiancee Lauren Sánchez began the year enjoying the warm waters of the Caribbean, in a journey that led them to cross the waters of the Virgin Islands and other islands that form the so -called British overseas territories, located east of Puerto Rico .
The Millionaire approached the island of Montserrat on January 6 with its impressive overstropoate of 500 million dollars, which raised a great stir among the population of the small Caribbean island.
It won’t buy the island. When the population warned the presence of the millionaire on the island, rumors began to run about the reason that had brought it to it. As published by the local newspaper France-Antilles Guadeloupe, one of the population’s main concerns was that the founder of Amazon, the second greatest fortune in the world, bought a good part of the island, as Mark Zuckerberg or Larry Ellison in Hawaii did previously.
The nervousness among the population was such that the prime minister of the island, Reuben Meade, had to pity to clarify the reason for his visit. “He came here as a tourist. We left their private affairs in private hands,” the president reassured. “We are not going to make us the affairs of anyone. It comes here as a tourist and spends money in Montserrat. Thank God that spends money in Montserrat,” the head of government was congratulated.
There is no “Golden Visa” for Bezos. The politician clarified that Bezos “cannot buy properties in Montserrat, for example, unless the government gives a land tenure license to foreigners. Thus we will know when business is being done.”
With these statements, the politician tried to silence the rumors about the possibility that the millionaire could accept some kind of economic agreement in exchange for a “Golden Visa.” Meade concluded by ensuring that “they cannot do anything unless they register a company or request a license to do business. So we will know what is happening when the right time is.”
Since it has come … Taking advantage of the presence of the millionaire on the island, the citizens proposed to their prime minister to meet with Jeff Bezos to request his financial help to improve the equipment of the small island.
According to the local newspaper, some citizens requested “to help us with the project of the port”, while others pointed out other priorities “maybe I could ask him to help us with the hospital project,” they asked their political representative.
The fame of Jeff Bezos precedes him. Jeff Bezos has won the reputation of being an avid buyer of properties wherever it passes. For his move to Florida, the millionaire bought two adjacent mansions on the artificial island Indian Creek, better known as Billionaire Bunker.
In addition, the millionaire bought a third mansion located the opposite end of the small island located off the coast of Miami. The Millionaire also bought another luxury mansion in Miami Dade to the Spanish Raquel Cordón, daughter of the businessman Publio Cordón. All this, in just a few months.
