Fancy renting Murdoch’s yacht? it’s just £200,000 per week

By oliverluft

Are times really that hard at News Corp that the boss has to look for alternative streams of income?

Holiday makers looking for something a little different can now live out their media mogul fantasies in full as Rupert Murdoch has decided to let out his 184ft yacht, Rosehearty.

With ‘almost austere’interiors designed by Frenchman Christian Liagre, the boat also boasts carbon furling booms (any idea what they are?), deep swing keel and five spacious suites.

It’s snip at £200,000 for a week’s rental. Might book myself in next week – anyone want to join me and split the cost of the groceries?
