Geffen’s Caribbean excursion is the latest revelation of how the crisis is affecting people unequally across the globe. It’s not the only billionaire’s boat in the Caribbean, with Roman Abramovich’s Eclipse and Ernesto Bertarelli’s Vava II also dropping anchor in the region. Geffen, who has a net worth of $9 billion according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, didn’t respond to a request for comment. The getaway could “quickly turn into a quarantine nightmare,” according to industry publication Superyacht Times. Those fears have also affected the superyacht industry, which employs more than 160,000 people worldwide.
