Jeff Bezos<\/a>\u2019 problems aren\u2019t like everyone else\u2019s. The Amazon founder, who was just one of the sponsors of the Met Gala<\/a> and attended the event alongside his new wife, Lauren S\u00e1nchez Bezos<\/a>, is reportedly making a big change. He\u2019s selling his yacht. That\u2019s right, Bezos is quietly trying to sell his $500 million boat, the Koru. And the reason is kind of funny.<\/p>\n

According to reports<\/a>, Bezos is selling the yacht because it\u2019s just too big to manage, costing about $30 million per year to operate. Talk about first-world problems. The vessel also comes with a $75 million support ship, Abeona. There\u2019s no confirmation if that\u2019s also being sold, or if Bezos plans to keep the Abeona and sell only the Koru.<\/p>\n

Of course, there aren\u2019t that many people who can even buy the 417-foot yacht, one of the largest sailing yachts in the world. In fact, the list is probably very small. And let\u2019s not forget the vessel features a wooden sculpture of Bezos\u2019 wife, Lauren S\u00e1nchez Bezos, as a mermaid on the prow. Probably not something most people would want to keep.<\/p>\n

The yacht\u2019s size has caused problems before, as it has been unable to dock at various points due to how big it is, according to Page Six<\/a>. This happened at Bezos<\/a>\u2019 wedding in Venice, and while the couple was on holiday later in the year. But the two have continued to use the yacht nonetheless, at least until now. It\u2019s unclear whether Bezos will find a buyer for the vessel.<\/p>\n

All of this comes after reports that the first months of marriage for the couple have been an adjustment for the billionaire. \u201cLauren\u2019s energy is non-stop,\u201d\u00a0a source told\u00a0Rob Shuter<\/a>, who reported on their holiday getaway and their very different energy levels at the time.\u00a0\u201cShe was jumping, dancing, laughing \u2014 and Jeff was hanging on for dear life. He looked wiped.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s happy, but he\u2019s clearly worn out trying to match her,\u201d\u00a0another source said. And the two have been very public since their marriage, attending the Vanity Fair Oscars after party and now being heavily involved in the Met Gala planning.<\/p>\n

Bezos and S\u00e1nchez were last seen together at the Met Gala, where the Amazon founder did not walk the red carpet but met up inside the event with his wife, who did make an appearance at the Met Gala steps. And Rob Shuter<\/a>\u00a0reported that Bezos had spent at least $15 million as a sponsor of the gala. Quite a number, especially considering some reports indicate Anna Wintour wasn\u2019t happy with the negative publicity that came with the involvement of Bezos.<\/p>\n

\u201cJeff was supposed to be the bankroll, not the headline,\u201d a source told the journalist, explaining, \u201cAnna wanted his money. What she did not want was\u00a0Jeff Bezos\u00a0becoming the villain of the night before the first flashbulb even pops.\u201d<\/p>\n
