In practical terms, that makes it longer than a standard soccer pitch, the outlet reported.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Brin&#8217;s fortune is said to be roughly $265 billion.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The outlet reported that up to 24 guests can stay aboard in 12 cabins, supported by as many as 53 crew members. The onboard features include two helipads, a gym, beauty salon, games room, beach club, a shaded swimming pool, and another pool with a glass bottom.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Germ\u00e1n Frers designed the exterior, and Italian studio Nauta Design created the interiors. Across five decks, Dragonfly provides around 21,500 square feet of living space and can reach about 24 knots, Euro Weekly News reported.<\/p>\n<p>More background<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the spectacle also feeds a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecooldown.com\/green-business\/yacht-pollution-reddit-billionaire-carbon-emissions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">broader frustration<\/a> over how concentrated wealth appears in shared natural spaces.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For some people, Dragonfly is simply a marvel of engineering and design. For others, it is a reminder that some of the world&#8217;s most beautiful communities are increasingly being used as backdrops for extravagant private consumption.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dragonfly&#8217;s arrival also raises a deeper question for iconic destinations like Mallorca: how to protect extraordinary communities and environments when displays of extreme wealth keep occupying more space.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-medium-font-size\" style=\"max-width:600px\">Get TCD&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecooldown.com\/newsletter\/?utm_source=recQfkZQXQvSLFaxc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">free newsletters<\/a> for easy tips, smart advice, and a chance to earn $5,000 toward home upgrades.
