Boston Red Sox Billionaire Falls Down Superyacht Steps

An elaborate staircase on a superyacht is par for the course these days. Designers try to outdo one another with floating structures, integrated atriums, and all kinds of ultra-expensive materials. Sometimes however they end up being better to look at than actually walk on. We assume thats the case with Boston Red Sox owner John Henry, who recently visited the local hospital after tumbling down the stairs of his 164-ft. Feadship Iroquois. The yacht was docked in Boston at the time and an ambulance was summoned to escort the billionaire following the mishap. Luckily for him he wasnt seriously injured.

Henry, who made his fortune through his hedge fund J.W Henry & Company, had already listed the vessel for sale at $28.75 million. Built in 1998 by Feadship in Aalsmeer, Netherlands and refit in 2006, yacht features a sophisticated exterior design and engineering by De Voogt. The yachts interior was designed by Glade Johnson Design with luxury accommodation for up to 10 guests in 5 suites along with 11 crew members. She has a cruising speed of 15 knots, a max speed of 16 knots and a range of 4,700 nm at cruising speed. Luxe touches include a music studio and gym.

Back in 2007 Jaeger-LeCoultre expelled this Master Eight Days Perpetual calendar (ref. 16124SQ) watch - as well as it still looks beautiful today. With an original cost of about $100,000 , there have been (relative) deals to be found today. The skeletonized black 'frosted' transformation is amazing to demeanour at, but you'll have to forgive the pattern for creation we hunt the bit for all the report which we have available upon the dial. The transformation tone is essentially due to ruthenium, as well as there have been pure discs all over the dial. Set in the 41mm wide 18k pinkish bullion "Master" pick up case, the watch nicely mixes classical Jaeger-LeCoultre cultured with the visible seductiveness of the complicated style skeletonized movement.
