A quick glimpse into the sprightliness of a software package billionaire : When Larry Ellison ’s BMW Oracle Racing racing yacht snapped its $ 10 million mast this calendar week , the ship ’s helmsman ( not Ellison ) described the event as a “ small setback . ”
That ’s $ 10 million for a mast . Granted , it ’s part of a massive anatomical structure that ’s twice the size of a 747 ’s extension , but that ’s still $ 10 million for a mast . The Ellison - owned team has two more in backlog , so it ’s understandable how the helmsman can call the harrowing upshot “ nonaged ” when speaking to we plebeians .
The drive of the mishap is unknown . Weather and straysurfing gadget blog editorshave been rule out , and the squad hopes to image out the existent grounds and get back to breeding so they can meet and defeat Alinghi of Switzerland on Feb. 8 . [ NBC Bay Area ]
