![ONE TIME WEB USE FOR NEWS.COM.AU ONLY- FEES APPLY - EXCLUSIVE: An ultra-flashy birthday gift to himself? Billionaire Mark Zuckerberg's reported new toy - a $300M megayacht 'Launchpad' - has arrived in the US just weeks ahead of his 40th birthday. These exclusive photos show the gleaming 387ft long vessel sitting at Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, after pulling in earlier this week. According to Autoevolution, the Facebook founder snapped up the Feadship-built pleasure boat after visiting the company?s shipyard in the Netherlands last year. Workers were seen washing the five-deck blue and white yacht, which flies an American flag on top, as it awaits its uber-wealthy owner. The tech mogul and father-of-three is expected to board soon, now that it's successfully completed its maiden journey. Zuckerberg is one of the last centibillionaires to get into the super-exclusive club of megayacht owners but looks to have finally taken the plunge after splashing out the hefty sum, on top an extra $30M for a shadow yacht ?Wingman' (not pictured) to accompany it on its future travels. Maybe a summer cruise is now on the cards to celebrate his milestone birthday, on May 14. 20 Mar 2024 Pictured: Mark Zuckerberg's new $300M megayacht 'Launchpad'.
