Gabe Newell Acquires Dutch Shipyard

Ordinary billionaires buy yachts, but Gabe Newell buys yacht manufacturers. The head of Valve has acquired the Dutch shipyard Oceanco, which is considered one of the world's leading superyacht manufacturers, and has promised to actively participate in its development. The transaction amount has not been disclosed, but it involves astronomical sums of money. Newell's fortune is currently estimated at ~$9.5 billion, and he has been living on a yacht himself for a long time. He will soon receive a new one - the Y722 worth $400 million, which is currently being built by the people at Oceanco.
