Venus, the yacht late Apple founder Steve Jobs designed with Philippe Starck, got in a minor accident in Naples with Lady Moura, a luxury vessel owned by Mexican billionaire Ricardo Salinas Pliego.

Salinas, who is vacationing in the Mediterranean off the coast of Italy, posted a video on X showing Venus slowly drifting toward his yacht while his crew frantically yelled and whistled trying to prevent the collision.
