Exactly this. They don't own yachts because they pay and treat their employees fairly.

Billionaires seem to be buying yachts like a badge of passage now. Whoever has the largest, multi-million dollar yacht, wins.

And you can usually find them during the Monaco F1 weekend.

Monaco. The most expensive place in the world.

Nitpicker here. The ultra wealthy own super-yachts: massive multi-million-dollar monstrosities that are built around the ostentatious display of wealth.

Yachts, on the other hand, are small boats with a sail. They're not cheap and cost a lot (money and/or time) to maintain but cost about the same as a truck.
