At a certain point, everything you could ever want is available, so better things on land is pretty marginal. However, I agree, it seems unnecessary, but so does everything else they do. They literally have more money than they can spend, so why not I guess? Even if they don't use it, they can brag about how big their yacht is to the other billionaires, and I imagine some poorer people would be pretty enticed by it, if that's something they care about.

It’s a status thing. Like most of the crap the billionaires do.

It also has utility thought. It provides a big presence for guests. If you really want to hire someone or do some kinda business deal, you fly them by helicopter to the yacht. Wine and dine em in a floating ballroom. It’d be a lot harder to say no in that kind of space.
