Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, a prominent advocate for climate change action, has recently acquired a new $300 million mega-yacht, sparking controversy over perceived environmental hypocrisy. The 287-foot yacht, powered by four MTU diesel engines, can reach a top speed of 24 knots and is moored in Fort Lauderdale. This addition to Zuckerberg's collection, which also includes a Gulfstream G650 private jet, has been criticized as it contrasts with his public stance on environmental issues. The yacht and jet are noted for being exempt from emissions limitations, raising further questions about the environmental impact of such luxury assets.
