You must have thought my comment was in response to something you posted.

Ah, hang on a minute, I've just realised you are the OP, it's your thread. Carry on.

What does it matter where he got his wedge from? One can make a fortune in so many ways, assert stripping and contrived bankruptcies for one.

There's an old Russian proverb - A Rouble remembers not whose hand held it last.

Apparently, superyacht transport is big business nowadays:

So, with the availability of (usually) safe passage, I'd guess that "My Song" arrived in Antigua aboard a ship.

There are purpose-built yacht transporters, too:

Spending for spenging's sake - even if so then why not? His money, his choice what he does with it.

Re. his money. I would never begrudge anyone having money and how they came by it.
Anyone could’ve done the same, if they’d tried. Even a person, who signs his name with an ‘X’ can become a billionaire.
