Last month, a $140 million megayacht owned by Steve Jobs' widow crashed into another massive vessel off the coast of Italy.

The incident was captured on video and shared across Instagram by ricardosalinas and has accumulated over 50k likes on the platform.

Mexican billionaire Ricardo Salinas was aboard his 105-metre Lady Moura when the 78-metre Venus, commissioned by the late Apple founder and now owned by Laurene Powell Jobs crashed into him.

The former wife of Steve Jobs inherited her yacht, which was carefully designed by French designer Philippe Starck in collaboration with the former Apple CEO.

Steve Jobs was known for his high attention to detail - not to mention his strange habits - reflected in his many possessions and products.

Named after the Roman goddess of beauty, the yacht is made of aluminium and includes a minimalistic design with 40-foot ceilings and six identically sized bedrooms. So it's clear the Apple billionaire spared no expense when it came to an extra home on the water.

Viewers can witness the moment the two luxury boats collide.

Crew members can be heard shouting over the damage and high winds.

The two yachts - worth a staggering total of $265 million - came into contact after a strong gust of wind from the coastal city of Naples pushed them into collision.

Ricardo wrote his surprise that the captain and crew weren't able to see 'a yacht the size of [his] right in front of them.'

According to the Venus crew, the Lady Moura had dropped anchor with twice as much chain as usual.

So, when the wind picked up, the two yachts’ different anchor lengths led to the collision.

Salinas also took the opportunity to point out that there are 'still idiots in the world.'

But he kept things semi-light-hearted by adding: 'The good thing is that it was nothing more than a scratch. But it was a big scratch it's going to cost a lot to fix it,' ending with 'ha, ha, ha.'

He also cheekily asked for Apple products as compensation, writing: 'So go to [...] and buy Apple products to help you pay me for your little joke.'
