Larry Ellison, reportedly the third-richest American, likely had trouble finding somewhere to park his yacht, Rising Sun. The 254-foot vessel is too big to dock at most of the world's marinas. It's the world's eighth-largest yacht and cost more than $200 million to build. Still, Ellison sold it for $100 million more than that in 2010.
