superyacht Owner Learns the Hard Way That Instagram Filters Don't Work in Real Life, Gets Boat Stuck in Venice Canal
The internet is having a field day after a billionaire's $50 million superyacht, the "Instagram Empress," got wedged in a Venetian canal, forcing a dramatic rescue involving dozens of very annoyed gondoliers. Apparently, the owner tried to recreate a viral photo of his yacht, ignoring the canal's "No Parking, Obvs" signs, and ended up creating a very expensive, very public traffic jam. The irony? The photo that went viral is now of his boat being towed, not of him sipping Aperol.
