Many weeks ago now I wrote about the mogul and his ability to test people right away prior to them joining him on board for se-x.

Now, the national press is finally catching up to the fact there is special testing for billionaires and their yacht guests.

David Geffen sparks backlash for flaunting his self-quarantine from a $590M superyacht

Billionaire David Geffen sparked an uproar after sending well-wishes on social media amid the coronavirus outbreak from his superyacht.

Geffen, founder of Geffen Records and co-founder of DreamWorks Pictures, took to Instagram on Saturday morning to post images from his luxury yacht, which Geffen bought for $590 million, according to Forbes.

“Sunset, last night,…isolated in the Grenadines avoiding the virus. I’m hoping everybody is staying safe,” Geffen wrote to his nearly 84,000 followers.

The images included two wide shots of the “Rising Sun” yacht, as well as one of the luxurious main deck.

Critics piled on the mogul for the tone-deaf Instagram post.

The AV Club published the headline, “Hey poors: David Geffen wants to show you his yacht.”

“The View” co-host Meghan McCain blasted Geffen, saying: “David Geffen is worth 8 billion dollars! For God’s sake help this country get ventilators, our health workers masks and the medical supplies they need! Or no, just stay on your f—ing yacht instagramming. This is just shameful and grotesque.”

“David Geffen riding out the virus in a yacht made of ventilators,” extremism expert Mark Pitcavage quipped.

“David Geffen could have donated that yacht to NYC to be used as a makeshift hospital,” New York Times columnist Wajahat Ali tweeted.

“David Geffen’s thought process: ‘Hey you know what, millions are losing their jobs, can’t pay their rent and they’re worried about a deadly pandemic, I bet they’d love to know how I’m doing. Fire up the copter so we can take some more pics of my yacht! They’ll love this!!!'” film producer Robby Starbuck reacted. – Source

A billionaire’s compound with its own coronavirus testing center stokes anger on the French Riviera

SAINT-TROPEZ, France —”The very rich,” F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote, “are different from you and me.” Rarely has that statement been so glaringly clear, as the self-isolation strategies of the ultrawealthy are revealed by the coronavirus pandemic.

Some individuals are hiding out in state-of-the-art bunkers. Some have leased seaside mansions to hunker down for the duration. In the Grenadines, billionaire entertainment mogul David Geffen posted pictures on Instagram from his 454-foot megayacht, Rising Sun, replete with a tone-deaf “hoping everybody is staying safe” message.

And here in this Riviera resort — one of Geffen’s favorite summer ports of call — a gated compound of some of the world’s richest people has its very own, very private testing site.

Set in the director’s office of the 270-acre Les Parcs de Saint-Tropez — where LVMH luxury group chairman Bernard Arnault, Ritz Paris owner Mohamed Al-Fayed and Indian steel magnate Lakshmi Mittal have palatial villas — the medical unit is staffed with a doctor and lab technician to take and process samples from residents and their friends. Details were leaked to the regional newspaper, the Var-Matin, which reported that the effort was organized by Les Parcs’s association president, Jean-Louis Oger. The wealthy pharmacist-turned-entrepreneur owns several clinics and laboratories in the south of France.

Townspeople have widely condemned the clandestine center as yet another example of the inequality that spurred the gilets jaunes — or yellow vest — protest movement that has roiled the country since late 2018.

“So much for solidarity,” one local told the Var-Matin. – Source
