Jeff Bezos may be a billionaire but he’s clearly not loved by a local community hailing from Rotterdam who is now gearing up to vent their rage against him.
According to local media reports, Jeff Bezos is the owner of the world’s largest sailing yacht and now it appears to be under threat.
Livid locals claim to be devising a master plan to pelt the billionaire’s superyacht with the help of rotten eggs, right after officials in the area opted to dismantle an entire ancient bridge so the huge vessel can pass through.
Worth nearly £400 million, the yacht is being dubbed as a huge problem carrier as residents claim that destroying a part of history to accommodate one man’s needs is beyond outrageous and stupid.
The vessel is built by a giant Dutch firm and reports claim that in order for it to pass the historic Koningshaven Bridge, it latter would require dismantling.
And the fact that authorities are willing to do just that has many residents’ minds blown.
On the other hand, experts say that the entire bridge won’t be dismantled but a huge portion of it will definitely have to be removed to allow the yacht to pass under. But officials are yet to confirm this piece of news as anger amongst locals increases.
“We have received a request from the respective shipbuilder regarding the act that would require the dismantling of the middle portion of the bridge that is 95 years old. But no decision has been made as of yet”- announced the mayor.
If in fact, the rumor is true, the bridge will be dismantled and then immediately restored. Moreover, costs for the decision will be covered by the shipbuilder himself who vows to act on it immediately to avoid any sort of inconvenience.
