Jeff Bezos’ $500M Yacht Koru Shows Up in St. Barts, Still More Reliable Than Prime Delivery
KEY POINTS
- •Jeff Bezos started the new year 2026 on his $500 million yacht, Koru, docked in St. Barthelemy, a French Caribbean island.
- •The island’s luxury scene caters to billionaires like Bezos, Kim Kardashian, Beyoncé, and Leonardo DiCaprio, with lavish beaches, designer boutiques, and hotels charging up to $15,200 per night.

Starting 2026 in style, Amazon’s Jeff Bezos parked his $500 million yacht, Koru, in St. Barthelemy—aka billionaire paradise where even the sand feels designer. This French Caribbean speck (11x2.5 miles, fancier than your passport) is not just sun and snorkels for sea turtles; it’s a playground for the .001% featuring over a dozen beaches, French croissants that apparently taste better with your toes in sand, and hotels like Eden Rock where a night in the biggest villa nets you a casual $15,200. Celebs including Beyoncé, Kim Kardashian, and Leonardo DiCaprio punch the airwaves. Luxury yachts boasting jacuzzis and movie theaters pepper the harbor, owned by not just Bezos but also Playrix founder Dmitry Bukhman and Dallas Mavericks owners. Shoppers can empty wallets at hermetically sealed boutiques like Hermès and Patek Philippe, whose watches can eclipse your car’s value. For party animals, Nikki Beach hosts New Year’s performances from Kygo and Mariah Carey—so you can dance it off after dropping thousands on a room. Bezos’s floating palace laughs quietly while you try to book a flight to an airport on a nearby island, then figure out the 'ferry or private boat' puzzle your travel agent forgot to mention.

Jeff Bezos chillin’ on his half-billion-dollar yacht in St. Barts while the rest of us argue if our local “beach” is just a puddle with grass. Billionaire beach days come with croissants, private jets, and more yacht-sized jacuzzis than a city of broke millennials has apartments.
Imagine dropping $15k on a hotel night to feel ‘private’ and ‘exclusive’ while Jeff Bezos is probably ordering Amazon drones to deliver his sunscreen mid-yacht nap.
St. Barts: where billionaires frolic, yachts outnumber local cars, and your vacation consists of stealing airport WiFi on a neighbor island just to look at beachfront views on Instagram.
