Celebrity Yachts Ranked from Cheapest to Most Expensive

Built as a support yacht to accompany larger vessels, Tatoosh served as both a luxury platform and a practical companion for exploration. Paul Allen, Microsoft co-founder and technologist, used it for travel, research, and leisure, reflecting his wide-ranging interests beyond software and computing.

Allen’s immense wealth came from shaping personal computing and later investing in science, sports, and exploration. Tatoosh fit his identity as a thinker who valued capability as much as comfort.
