Yacht reportedly built for Jeff Bezos is too big for Dutch bridge:
reportedly being built for Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, can get to the North Sea is unlikely to be plain sailing.
“I think it’s easy to understand why it’s so controversial because this is a very beautiful, recently restored old bridge," said Rotterdam resident Lizette Touber. “It really is our heritage. And I think that if the rich can pay for it to be opened, which normally nobody else could do, then you get controversy.”
The municipality declined to comment on who owns the yacht in question or identify the shipbuilder. An email sent to Amazon seeking comment went unanswered.
