The New York Daily News captured some photos of Gates aboard "The Serene," a $330 million dollar yacht that Gates and his family are renting for $5 million per week. The Russia-born Scheffler is an interesting figure himself, famous for battling with Russian President Vladimir Putin, who tried to nationalize and "redistribute" Stolichnaya's wealth. According to Business Insider, Serene is the third most expensive yacht in the world.

And I'd thought Bill Gates was giving a majority of his wealth to his and his wife's foundation. It's like, when I'd heard he was vacationing on this behemoth, it disenchanted me some.
He could very well have enough to do both the foundation and "splurge" on this, but it's still a wonder if he could do more.
Then again, should he do more? Would doing more make the beneficiaries of the foundation become more dependent on it?
