The owner of the yacht, Augusto Perfetti, is worth $3 billion through his business exploits with the Perfetty Van Melle sweet company, which manufactures classic treats like Chupa Chups, Trident and Mentos
A massive superyacht belonging to an Italian billionaire was spotted mooring in Cobh harbour over the weekend, a yacht on which guests are charged a small fee of $1 million per week to take a ride.
The yacht, named Air, is a charter boat which can be rented by wealthy holidaymakers who have $992,000 lying around, Cork Beo reports.READ MORE: Irish people with these surnames could be heirs to forgotten fortunes Some have speculated that Perfetti - said to be a golf fanatic - uses the boat's onboard helicopter to take trips to his favourite golf courses around Cork and Kerry. As well as jet skis and scuba equipment, you'd hope that Perfetti would also stretch to providing a bowl of complimentary lollipops and mints.
Perfetti commissioned the construction of the Air in 2011 - after selling a near-identical vessel named Ice to Russian oligarch Suleyman Kerimov in 2005. Kerimov sold the Ice on for a whopping $150 million ten years later.
