Andrey Melnichenko, the Russian billionaire, wasn’t satisfied with the paint job on his yacht, so he did what you do when you get a bad paint job: He sued the contractor for $100 million.
Melnichenko’s suit against Dulux, the Dutch company he hired to paint his yacht, includes “punitive damages,” as well as the cost of renting another boat while his current ship is getting another makeover.
The huge yacht cost $350 million and looks like a James Bond villain’s lair, so it takes a quite a while to paint.
