On Monday, Mallya posted a picture of the yacht on Twitter and wrote, “My new Yacht...165 feet, fast and sexy...christened Force India!!”

Our source, a yachting expert, said the yacht has accommodation for 8-10 people with double-bedded rooms, a jacuzzi, a small pool and possible arrangements for water scooters and skiing. He, however, was quick to add, “It looks like a second hand buy which is 2-3 years old. An updated version of the same model is available.”

While daddy cool pampers himself with mean machines, son Siddharth, too, has started a new innings.

On Sunday, Mallya Junior took over the reins of Royal Challengers Bangalore. This comes soon after his appointment as the Deputy General Manager of United Spirits.

The 23-year-old was excited with his new designation. He tweeted, “Moved into my new office, awesome! Feel like Obama! Though the last term I spent in an oval office was quite different to his… ;)”
