Zuckerberg's Yacht and the Alaska Rescue | Texas News

Mark Zuckerberg’s yacht, the Launchpad, sparked online controversy after being near a stranded skiff in Alaska—but wasn’t involved in the rescue. The crew claims they were on a different radio channel and didn’t hear the distress call until after another ship, the Wilderness Legacy, had already towed the skiff to safety. Zuckerberg, who wasn’t even onboard, defended his team’s actions, noting the boat wasn’t officially in distress and help arrived before they could intervene. Meanwhile, he’s been busy: dropping $170 million on a Florida “Billionaire Bunker” estate and posting a video of himself sparring with a UFC fighter on a Tahoe barge.
