Summer is the time for relaxing, taking a vacation, and traveling with friends and family.
But "vacation" means something a little different when you're a tech millionaire or billionaire.
From massive island retreats to private superyachts, these tech executives have come a long way from summer camp.
Microsoft billionaire Paul Allen will likely be cruising the Mediterranean on one of his superyachts. The 414-foot Octopus has recently been spotted in Syracuse, Sicily, and Corse, an island just north of Sardinia. When he needs a break from the sea, he can always dock at the Villa Maryland, his hilltop mansion on the Côte d'Azur.
Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff loves all things Hawaii. He wears Hawaiian shirts to work and even named his dog "Koa," after a type of Hawaiian tree. He also owns a 5-acre estate on the Big Island, which he purchased for $12.5 million in 2000.
