![According to reports, Bezos said he would pay to have the bridge dismantled and rebuilt again – but his request was refused. In fact, locals also signed a petition to pelt the boat with rotten eggs on its maiden voyage – which garnered thousands of signatures. As a result, Bezos readjusted his expectations and the sails on his yacht so it could fit underneath the bridge. This saw Oceanco quietly tow the enormous yacht to another shipyard where its masts were added. Koru will join a fleet of superyachts, helicopters, and planes already owned by the American entrepreneur and his millionaire girlfriend, Lauren Sanchez.
