Jobs took advantage of
a California law which gives a maximum of six months for new vehicles to
receive plates, and kept leasing a new SL every six months.
However, post the new iPhone 6 launch Steve Jobs had been
planning to recuperate on his custom built, 256-foot, luxury, super-yacht
called the Venus Steve, the existence of which was a carefully guarded
secret, until about a yearafter his untimely demise. Venus was secretly
unveiled on 28 October 2012 at the Feadship shipyard in Aalsmeer in the
Netherlands.
The $118 million (INR 746 Crores), 78-meter long luxury yacht
was designed with the help of Philippe Starck a French designer known for his
prowess in interior, product, industrial and architectural design. Now,
Venus Steve has been recently spotted by the Woods Hole Inn in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, around the
British Virgin Islands, anchored in the Norman Island Bright, a famous
ancient hideaway for pirates.
Here how viewers describes the Yatch:
“When we got
closer, we saw the huge bow deck littered with teak furniture and red cushions.
The illusion of a box from afar was created by a polished chrome bowline that
reflected the water. The whole boat was like a mirror, mirroring images that
passed (like our tiny sailboat that looked positively trailer trash in
comparison). The stern was open like a tin can, with a ziggurat of steps
cascading down to the water. We circled peeking into what was clearly an
exercise room with a huge shiny X that reminded me of the Mondrian Hotel in LA.
Several crew members were in there, polishing the chrome, scrubbing the deck
and rearranging the bicycle collection. There were paddle boards, a small
umbrella, room for the launch which appeared to be elsewhere.”
