    Yeah sure, wait till this thing miss-fires into someone's eye and blinds them.

    Sometimes people with to much money think they are above the law.

    Besides, If 20 guys with 20 cameras are all pointing at the boat i doubt it can hit all 20 indefinatly at the same time.

    @screemname: If you can afford a 1.2 billion dollar boat than you, my friend, are above the law. Anybody who thinks different is just kidding themselves.

    um...guess his addition to his yacht was no help since this photo of his boat was able to be published. I would install a laser guided missile launcher..more effective take out the camera and the photographer then no one can complain

    And what's even more amazing is that he had an iPhone app to control the whole system but apple rejected it because it duplicates other iPhone functions.

    Paparazzo is singular. Paparazzi is plural.

    Can you even consider someone that rich to part of humanity? I mean seriously...5O00 sq.ft for a bedroom, on a DAMN boat! WTF?. That is just so over the top stupid. The cost of that .boat. is more money than a handful of third world nations combined, what the hell are these money grubbin titans thinking about. Do they live on the same planet?? I bet this piece of shit runs on a mixture of raw oil and the blood of babies.

    I wonder if one single cent out of those $350millions was made through honest means...

    @aerospaceman: While I'm not a fan of oligarchic and corrupt economic systems overall, I'm not sure if we can blame the individuals who achieve success under these conditions. For instance, when Roman was starting out, I'm sure he faced the same obstacles that oppress many entrepreneurs in Russia today. The choice to participate "honestly" in a corrupt system might even have been completely unavailable. Even if these circumstances don't excuse someone for corrupt behavior, it would at least blur the distinction between what is morally acceptable and what is not.

    Mr. Loftus, you forgot the "million," in: "The Eclipse also cost a cool $350 to complete".

    Don't feel so bad Jack, at least you don't have to burden yourself with oodles of Russian/Swedish ladies piled up in a 5,000 square foot master bedroom.
