  urlLink mcall.com - Paul Allen charting new course : "Billionaire Paul Allen's appearance at the annual cable-industry convention this month had tongues wagging. And not just because the reclusive mogul arrived aboard the world's largest privately owned yacht, a 413-foot stunner that Allen docked on the Mississippi River. " ... Touring cable executives said the 8-month-old vessel cost Allen $200 million and had a permanent crew of 60 people, including several former Navy Seals. It has two helicopters, seven boats and a remote-controlled vehicle for crawling on the ocean floor. An accompanying submarine, under construction, will have the capacity to sleep eight people for up to two weeks underwater.
