Jeff Bezos bared his impressive muscles to bikini-clad girlfriend Lauren Sanchez as they kicked back on his $500m loveboat in the Mediterranean today.
The Amazon founder, 59, wore a pair of pale blue swimming trunks as he stood beside his 53-year-old partner off the coast of the Spanish island of Mallorca.
The couple were seen lying down on sun loungers before getting up and looking over the railings of the world’s tallest superyacht.
The pair jetted into Europe on his private jet at the weekend before taking a chopper to the billionaire’s new boat. The vessel – called Koru – was unveiled in March after five years of construction.

Previously known as Y721 or Project 721, the yacht now goes by the name of Koru which means ‘new beginnings’ in Maori.
The vessel is 417ft meters in length – with triple masts that reach 230ft – making the sailing yacht nearly half the size of the Great Pyramid of Giza.
And with a big price tag comes a big upkeep cost, a reported $25million annually.
Bezos and Sanchez’ latest luxury gallivant comes just a week after they were spotted among A-listers heading to Carbone Beach – an extravagant four-night supper club built to celebrate Miami’s racing week.
The loved-up couple were there for the Grand Prix weekend in Florida.
Bezos’ girlfriend Lauren Sanchez dressed up Miami-style for the event.
The attendees, who forked out $3,000-a-night on reservations, were treated to cuisine from Italian restaurant Carbone and star-studded live entertainment – in an ambiance that has been described as something out of The Great Gatsby.
Bezos stepped out in a stylish maroon t-shirt, while his glamorous girlfriend Lauren glitzed in a sparkly ensemble and nude heels.
And at the beginning of May, the Amazon founder and his girlfriend were pictured pitching up at Van Nuys airport in their private jet – just days after they were seen partying at Coachella with Kris Jenner.
The 59-year-old billionaire enjoyed a fun-filled double date with his girlfriend, Jenner and the momager’s longtime boyfriend Corey Gamble during one of the final nights of the popular festival.
Bezos and his girlfriend were spotted separately stepping down from their aircraft at Van Nuys airport – the single most heavily trafficked destination in Los Angeles for private jets, and one of the most heavily trafficked in the world.
Van Nuys is often used by celebrities including Kylie Jenner, Travis Scott, George Clooney, Ben Affleck, Jennifer Lopez and several other LA VIP’s as a launchpad for their extravagant lives.

Bezos – the third richest man in the world – and Sanchez went under the radar briefly since they stunned festival-goers in Indio, California, last month.
They were spotted chatting away with Kris Jenner ahead of her daughter’s rumored boyfriend Bad Bunny performing at Coachella.
The Amazon founder hilariously came under fire for his fashion decisions when it was speculated that was wearing a $12 shirt from Amazon at the music festival.
Bezos, who is worth $128.5bn according to Forbes, donned an open blue button-down with butterflies on it, light-wash jeans and white tennis shoes.
But eagle-eyed social media users appeared to find a similar – if not identical – butterfly shirt going for $12 on Amazon.
Bezos’ new yacht was constructed over a period of five-years – and it will be the tallest in the world, measuring over 230ft tall.
The Executive Chairman of Amazon commissioned for the boat – called Koru – to be built in 2018 and the brand-new superyacht was constructed for a whopping $500 million.
Previously known as Y721 or Project 721, the yacht now goes by the name of Koru which means ‘new beginnings’ in Maori.
The vessel is 127 meters in length – with triple masts that reach 70 meters – making the sailing yacht nearly half the size of the Great Pyramid of Giza.
And with a big price tag comes a big upkeep cost. Reportedly this will cost around $25 million annually.
It was modeled on with three enormous masts so it can be powered largely by kinetic energy from the sails.
What this extremely advanced and green technology means is that the sails can be managed by a single person rather than an entire crew.

The multi-million dollar project it is the most recent build from shipyard Oceanco, which is based in the Netherlands.
The aluminum and steel schooner boasts three decks including one with a swimming pool.
It is highly unlikely that we’ll get a look inside Bezos’s new vessel any time soon.
However, the interiors onboard are reported to be inspired by Eos, which is a 305-ft yacht that belongs to his close friend, Barry Diller, who is the founder and former CEO of Fox.
The interiors onboard Eos were created by the late François Catroux, who was known for his glamorous designs for the world’s most notable royals, aristocrats and media moguls.
Most extravagantly a smaller 250-ft support vessel sits alongside the mammoth one, complete with a helicopter landing pad for Bezos or his celebrity guests.
This smaller yacht is said to be loaded with an array of toys including luxury cars, jet skis, speedboats, and perhaps even a personal submarine.

Reports that Bezos asked the city of Rotterdam to take apart the recently restored Koningshaven Bridge, known locally as De Hef, sparked anger in the city
The shipyard has specialized in building large custom yachts up to 160m in length for over 30 years – including the legendary Black Pearl.
And Bezos’ mammoth vessel was so tall that it was unable to pass under the Koningshaven Bridge in The Netherlands when it was being transported.
Therefore, when it was being built, Bezos reportedly asked the Dutch city of Rotterdam to dismantle the 95-year-old landmark in order to allow his yacht to pass under it.
According to reports, Bezos said he would pay to have the bridge dismantled and rebuilt again – but his request was refused.
In fact, locals also signed a petition to pelt the boat with rotten eggs on its maiden voyage – which garnered thousands of signatures.
As a result, Bezos readjusted his expectations and the sails on his yacht so it could fit underneath the bridge.
This saw Oceanco quietly tow the enormous yacht to another shipyard where its masts were added.
Koru will join a fleet of superyachts, helicopters, and planes already owned by the American entrepreneur.
