I think management and technology all come into play in building a super-yacht. It is a challenge - a serious challenge.

I'd stay away from investments in a variety of sectors that are capital intensive. Anyone who says we need $100 million before we know if what we're doing makes sense and the customers want it - that's not going to work.

There's no other industry in the world where you could spend $100m as frivolously as they do in the film industry. Think about how much good you could do with $100m... it can be spent in 20 minutes on a movie.

The most expensive hobby a rich man could have is a boat, and the second most expensive hobby he could have is a very old house.

If I could sell 500 million records every time, it would be great. But I've also had the luxury experience of having it when I was a teenager, in a very kind of model version of it.

I think the people who end up being extraordinarily successful - it's been my observation - tend to care enormously about status, particularly business people, right? Because the only point of money, you know, the only reason to have a 300-foot-long boat is because they're bigger than 200-foot-long boats.

I had more money than I could spend in million lifetimes.

I'm a big yachting fan.

People say that I'm a millionaire, but that's not true - I only spend millions.

If I was a billionaire, I'd be smart with my money.
