John Staluppi has named every yacht he has owned after a James Bond film since childhood. His nineteenth will carry the shortest title yet. Project Bond measures 82 meters, or 269 feet, and will become both his largest boat and the biggest yacht Bilgin Yachts has built. Sold in March 2026 at the Palm Beach International Boat Show, the project is already well into steel and aluminum construction at the Turkish yard, with delivery expected in 2029.

Some people with serious money still chase ever-larger traditional superyachts. Others look at the same bank balance and choose something smaller, quieter, and far more practical. The HBY 140 SolarYacht from SolarYacht in Brandenburg, Germany, sits in that second group. Measuring 20 meters long and 7 meters wide, it offers 140 square meters of living space built as an aluminum trimaran. Base price starts at 595,000 euros. Fully equipped examples have listed around 830,000 euros.
Florida’s Doroni Aerospace spent years designing a two-seat electric aircraft that could lift off from a driveway and land back home without needing a runway or a pilot’s license measured in hundreds of hours. On August 5 the Federal Aviation Administration finally gave that vision a real regulatory foundation.

Balenciaga has spent years turning ordinary objects into expensive statements that leave most people confused. Potato chip bags, plastic grocery carriers, and even rough burlap have all carried the label, so a full-size vehicle shaped like a compact tank sits comfortably in the same collection.
Liam Neeson has spent years playing men who track others down. In his latest film, the roles reverse. He becomes the one everyone is after, and the machine he chooses for the job is a serious piece of American muscle.
