Fabulista Amazed: At Compensations.

Many people have ego issues. Many compensate it. (Heard of the man with the extra large, extra powerful sports car?)

Many people are hit by the economy downturn and stressed out. Many people seek relief. (Heard of stress shopping?)

But the following is just over the top - a Russian billionaire lost 13 million in stocks went ahead and build himself a yacht. But it's not just any yacht, but one like this...

Yes, that IS the actual Eclipse, a 557-footer, USD490 million yacht complete with a missile-detection system, two helipads, a luxury spa, swimming pool and a miniature submarine. With those exaggerated specifications, it's more like a liner than a yacht.

That's quite a way to compensate and relief stress, no?
