Google founder Sergey Brin owns a 466-foot (142-metre) megayacht named Dragonfly. This luxury cruiser has recently drawn attention not just for its size but for its unusual layout. Instead of dedicating most of its space to leisure, the vessel reportedly includes an entire business deck with a large private office, alongside a gym, games room and a concealed helicopter hangar, earning it the description of a floating workplace.Dragonfly, which was built by German shipyard Lurssen and delivered in 2024, was recently spotted anchored off Eze, France, Superyacht Times reported.
