Not quite so super a yacht after all...

Tom Perkins' much touted Maltese Falcon, the yacht "that all other yachts will be measured against" has been for sale for a while now and the "greatest" yacht ever designed does not quite have folks lining up to buy it...

Fact of the matter is, with all those Goldman Sachs big bonuses and all those billions in TARP money that no one seems to have kept track of, you'd think someone would be able to meet the asking price. But no, it seems not, and a 40-MILLION dollar cut on the asking price shows that the greatest yacht ever might just be changing its name to "White Elephant".
