A German billionaire, Reinhold Wuerth (#93 on the Forbes 2009 list), who has put his factory workers on short-time and cut their wages by faking a recession, has gone on to buy himself a $100 million yacht, which exemplifies the old phrase “The rich get richer and the poor get poorer.” Screw manufacturer Reinhold Wuerth has ordered 1,250 of his 5,000 employees to reduce their working hours and cut their pay by 15 percent while the rest of his workers are being forced to take a solidarity pay cut of five percent. But he himself has made no compromises in his ultra-rich lifestyle. The convicted tax evader also celebrated the christening of his new super yacht, the Vibrant Curiosity. The 85-meter megayacht, built at the Oceano dock near Rotterdam is powered with yacht two diesel engines, has a horsepower of 4,680 and can reach a speed of 18.5 knots. The insides are equally magnificent with a large cabin for the owners, a VIP suite as well as luxury cabins for 14 further guests. “Wuerth knew he would find little public support for his new plaything, so when the entrepreneur invited guests to the vessel’s recent launching party, he asked them to remain ‘discreet’ about it.” – DailyMail reports.
