The billionaire founder of the Limited clothing stores—and client of Jeff Epstein—built the Limitless in 1997, and the 315-foot super yacht is said to set off the craze for oversized sea-farers among the world’s corporate titans. Business week brings you all the yacht porn you can handle—Larry Ellison’s Rising Sun, Paul Allen’s Octopus, and the yachts of a couple of Russian guys who made money in the mobbed up “go go” nineties.

I don’t know what all the fuss is about. J.P. Morgan,the first Commodore of the New York Yacht Club, had a yacht back in the twenties “Corsair” that was over 400 feet. Many of the the yachts of the “Golden Age Of Yachting” were just as elegant in their time.
