Illustration by Ryan Heshka.How much for a private island? Which M.B.A. program has the richest grads? Who sleeps where on Air Force One? When readers ask Vf.com questions, our experts are there to answer. In the yachting scene, there's really only one vessel known for always drawing the A-list party crowd—that's billionaire and Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen's 414-foot behemoth, Octopus. It has space for two helicopters, a professional recording studio, more than five tenders, and even a submarine. Allen is especially fond of hosting late-night rock shows, where Jon Bon Jovi has performed.But you don't want to be invited to stay on Allen's yacht. What's better is to be a guest on one of the yachts tied up next to Octopus. As a neighbor, you can drop in whenever Allen throws a rager, and when the evening fades, you can escape to relative tranquillity.
