Here’s more proof that billionaires have so much money that they simply don’t understand life. Australian billionaire Clive Palmer has announced he wants to build a high tech replica of The Titanic that will retrace the original journey of the ill-fated vessel. Because the whole Titanic story hasn’t been exploited nearly enough.
According to reports Palmer has established a new shipping company called Blue Star Line Pty. Ltd. which will design and construct the boat (dubbed Titanic II) with assistance from a historical research team.
Palmer released a statement regarding his plans that said, “It will be every bit as luxurious as the original Titanic, but … will have state-of-the-art 21st-century technology and the latest navigation and safety systems.”
Sounds like someone just became a top contender in the battle for Most Ridiculous Ways To Invest Hundreds Of Millions Of Dollars!
