Larry Ellison's Mega Yacht Rising Sun
With all this ridiculousness in the papers about the America's Cup and Dogzilla I thought you might like to hear about Ellison's other yacht. Rising Sun is currently co-owned by Larry Ellison, CEO of the Oracle Corporation, and Hollywood mogul David Geffen. Larry Ellison is usually fond of sailing and is know around the docks for his involvement in the BMW Oracle team bidding for the America's Cup.
The mega yacht Rising Sun is enormous at 453 feet (138 meters)! The yacht is the 6th largest in the world and has a total living space of 8,000 square meters. The Rising Sun mega yacht was built in 2004 by Lürssen in Bremen, Germany, and was designed by Jon Bannenberg. The yacht reportedly cost over $200 million US to build!
Mega yacht Rising Sun last seen off Cannes in France.
